Here's a few I sliced up this week. Blue Quartz from Brazil.This is kinda soft but the two cabs I made from it polished up real nice. I picked up a few chunks of ocean Jasper and they were all very different from each other. I have some cabs from this material posted in the cab board.Hope you enjoy the pics. Mike

Fran,I dont think they were dyed.I got about six chunks of OJ and they were all very different from each other.Two were kinda ugly and will end up in the tumbler.The blue quartz was soft and easy to work but the shine surprised me.I cabbed some OJ but the slab it came from didnt make it into the pics somehow.I'm off work today so I will make some cabs from the two sets of OJ you see here.Hope to have them posted tonight in the cab board.

Mike: Blue quartz is nice and makes a great cab!!! It is getting harder and harder to find nice OJ and more and more expensive!!!!!!!! These will be cool, looking forward to the post! Amber

One of the things I love about this board is I get to see things I can't elsewhere or have never heard of being a nood. Loved the blue quartz
