HOLY PASTEL ORBY GOODNESS BATMAN! Those really are stunning!! Thanks, I’m still in disbelief. It’s the nicest piece of jasper I’ve cut since that blue mountain nodule! LOL I know I've said it a bunch...but I'm not a "specimen" kinda guy...but I would seriously have a wicked hard time not keeping at least one of these halves as a face polished specimen...especially when it's a "one in a million" type of piece like this one! |

Seriously WOW! It would appear that first cut wasn't a fluke!! So far they just keep getting better! I’ll be sad when it’s over, but I got a few more cuts to make. The stuff is extremely hard, not looking forward to cabbing it! LOL I'm calling BS on that! LOL - I would be chomping at the bit to make some cabs out of that! That top portion of the slab...it looks like a pastel mountain range! I can see some UNREAL landscape cabs coming out of that section!  |

Damn! It just keeps getting better and better! I don't know if I've seen colors like that. Such nice pastels but somehow looks like iridescenct colors.

The ones in these new cuts look like a little kid colored in a picture with a rainbow with colored pencils

That's the word I was thinking of the other day...but it wouldn't go from brain to fingers in order to type it! LOL Bravura Cabochon Designs - *If you remember...and want...it'd be cool to see pics of your slab marked out for the cabs before you hack it. I'd love to try and see what you were thinking when marking it... |

The ones in these new cuts look like a little kid colored in a picture with a rainbow with colored pencils I was just about to write that if my daughter could design her own dream rock, that is what it would look like! It’s like a picture jasper was the blank page of a coloring book and she filled in the colors. I’ve never seen anything like that before! |

These cuts are insane... Are the yellow ripples the residue of saw oil?

jasoninsd I’ll show you what I’m thinking when I get to cabbing some of the material. It’s going to be a minute, I need to cut into the rest of the pile before I cut up any slabs that I might regret not saving as a specimen. Lumberlegs keep an eye out for more! kate _foundings thanks! Hopefully I can find some cabbing time sooner than later, but my setup is outside and the weather isn’t very favorable right now. I wonder if you hit the lottery right away in this batch cutting into this one. Even if you have some "amazing" material left, you'll be like, "Pffft...whatever! Nothing compared to the first one! Why can't you be like your older brother!!!" LOL |

LOL I’m thinking there will be a few more incredible rocks, they all show some orb pattern even though some are fairly large pieces with the tiniest chip showing pattern.  |
