This is the last batch of pictures from my storage unit rock hounding "trip". These are all slabs. If you have a name for any of these please let me know! 1. I liked the swirls and green in this one 2. A blurry pic, but you get the idea IMG_3682_zpsl8m1fogt by Shiny Objects, on Flickr 3. A col little slab, I liked the colorful "waves" IMG_3683_zpsruckfxqe by Shiny Objects, on Flickr 4. Blurry again! Sorry! A poppy jasper of some kind. IMG_3684_zps3jl9ydee by Shiny Objects, on Flickr 5. Unknown, but I liked the colors. IMG_3685_zps2vyf10ti by Shiny Objects, on Flickr 6. Almost, but not quite, a picture jasper IMG_3686_zpsfnxarogc by Shiny Objects, on Flickr 7. Nice grain pattern. It is a little more green in person. IMG_3687_zpswyjhpcpi by Shiny Objects, on Flickr 8. Similar to the above, but this one is just black and white IMG_3688_zpszd7992mm by Shiny Objects, on Flickr 10. Another not so great picture! An agate of some sort. I liked the streaks. IMG_3689_zpsknejguzb by Shiny Objects, on Flickr 11. Zoisite? The pic doesn't really capture the bright intensity of the almost translucent green IMG_3690_zpsagavc7uo by Shiny Objects, on Flickr 12. As Robin would say "Holey Biggs, Batman!" There is enough solid area for a few cabs IMG_3692_zpsrzbt3byq by Shiny Objects, on Flickr 13. Arg! Another blurry picture! I liked the greens in this one.

#2 looks to be Mariposite #6 I am thinking Indian Blanket Jasper #11 I am thinking either Zoisite or jade. Jade has a better chance of being translucent than zoisite. #13 may also be Marisposite... there are variations in color & patterns that I have seem and they do not necessarily resemble each other that much. regardless.... all nice slabs!!

#1lizardstone burro creeknarizona #2 is indeed mariposite
#11 Zoisite is probably serpentine...
