I really like the composition of the second and fourth cabs. the shape really makes the most of the pattern. Wish I had some extra $$$ to get some of this material...maybe I'll sell enough this weekend to get some.

The high quality of the material aside; I adore your ability to lay-out and center those orbs.
Something, that I always seem to mess up somehow.
Congrats to a job, very well done!

Please excuse my ignorance but (superior workmanship aside) if you didn’t already know, how would you tell the difference between these “Bruneau” cab’s and “Picture Jasper” or any of a number of other Jaspers I’ve seen that looked like these but were being called something different? Thanks, Garrett

That's a valid question, so no apology needed. There is no mistaking Bruneau's combination of carmel colors and stacked orbs. Orbs in any jasper are uncommon, but do exist, but very, very seldom combined with those colors. Bruneau also contains a high amount of silica, which allows it to take a great polish. Once you've started to handle some jasper pieces, it becomes ever-easier to tell differences. Those are some great cabs, BTW
