Carol -

    I've cabbed it once - my first cab. I somehow decided that I needed
    to do it as a high dome, and it worked out well that way. The
    feathery little whitish fibers in it were shown off to good
    advantage that way (chatoyance). Later i read in one of the stone
    cutting books that that was the proper way to cut it, but it was just
    a lucky choice for me. I cut it so that they were pointing towards
    the top of the dome. 

    Cant remember what I used for my final polish tho... sorry.
