I love this stuff. This is the first piece of new brecciated jasper I've cut in a while. I've got cut preforms coming out of my ears already but the thrill of the cut is irresistible. First two are the same stone. I couldn't decide which picture I liked better. Neither one does justice to the colors. Agate - first two are from the same rock. Random weird pink agate I found. Solid and fracture free and it looks great in hand but it's * very* porous. Thanks fer watching.

I love that stuff, too. I had a nice slab of it from you. I like the new ones even better. Great colors!

Could just be because I suck at photography and only use a cell phone? It really is nice in hand with the purple popping on the top and sparkle coming from the white druzy. It caught Eva's eye walking through the garage yesterday but I think it's still mine for now.

The brecciated Burro Creek is some awesome stuff. Beautiful cabs out of that, especially the first one with the druzy in it, but I think I love the purple one just a little more. It has 2 of my favorite things - purple AND druzy! Great job on all of them.

Nice! Burro Creek has so many different types of material and so many overlook the breccia. Love that first cab!....Mel

Oh wow! So nice! BC..? Is that from British Columbia? I haven't seen anything like this from BC before ! Though there's so much I haven't seen! Burro Creek, that's in Arizona, so I think I misread the title!
