Not 100% sure what it is. It cuts like a jade but that chatoyant streak threw me. I had a small block of it and it sold like crazy. I am down to 2 cabs left that are in my "personal" stash!

Nice! I like the third on too. Looks a little like Arizona tiger-eye which is asbestos in serpentine. Sure has a nice flash to it....Mel

Really not sure what that 3rd one is. The flashy vein is not fiberous like tiger eye, but more like layers...very soft stone

I think Mel is right on the 3rd one and the last looks like Lapis Lazuli. I have tumbling grade that looks just like that. I have been working it and making cabs anyway. I just have to get the polishing down to make them look good. You did a great job on these! fRAN

Gotta love Google. Looked for Arizona tiger eye and there it was. Great call, Mel. That is a new stone on me. Thank you..
