Dang Jason! Those palm roots are amazing! Top notch work as always. 
I'm on the fence with the OJ. I'm thinking River jasper, but it could be C or D grade OJ. The second looks better for OJ, but I'm assuming that they came from the same rock. The first is definitely a toss up. I've seen a lot of river jasper that could easily pass for OJ.

The last 2 indo palm are way hot! Thanks Bill! Those first two Palms weren't supposed to be like they are. They had way more brown in them...but when I split the preform, there was too much pitting that got exposed...so I had to alter the shapes to miss that. Dangit! LOL Dang Jason! Those palm roots are amazing! Top notch work as always.

Thanks Tela! Yeah...as soon as I was posting pictures, it dawned on me those could be (probably ARE) River Jasper! Which is fine...I suppose I can say it's "A" grade River Jasper...or "D" grade Ocean Jasper! LOL |

I was going to go with the unkown as my favorite, but the brown in the palm root of the last two looks like a bonfire. How cool is that! Great job as always!

They are all so amazing! Do I have to pick a favorite? Then it must be my plume agate custom order in the future!  |

Superbly done. I really like the ones from the Switzerland rock, it's a quite nice breccia. Thanks so much for sharing.

Superb cabs but wouldn't expect anything else from you! That OJ is a lot nicer than some that I have. The last 2 palm cabs are just magnificent!

They’re all beauties jasoninsd. When I got to the palm root, my mouth dropped open and all I could do was stare. They’re definitely my favorites. Thanks for showing. |

Those are outstanding cabs. Thanks Diane! I really did have fun making most of these...most! LOL I was going to go with the unkown as my favorite, but the brown in the palm root of the last two looks like a bonfire. How cool is that! Great job as always! Thanks Chris! Yeah...when I got that slab of Palm Root and really got to looking at it, I couldn't believe how much it looked like "flames" in there! Amazing cabs as always! That palm root is something else! Thanks Dillon! I've been waiting for a long time to snag a piece like this...and I'll definitely be on the lookout for some more!  I have to agree with brotherbill . Those last 2 Palm Roots are  Thanks Robyn! I've got a couple more pieces that were too wide for the 7" saw to split...so I have to wait until it's nice enough to break out the 10" saw to split the preforms. One is a shield shape that I'm dying to get done! They are all so amazing! Do I have to pick a favorite? Then it must be my plume agate custom order in the future!  Thanks PS! LOL - That was a very good "not so subtle" hint! LOL Superbly done. I really like the ones from the Switzerland rock, it's a quite nice breccia. Thanks so much for sharing. Thank you my friend! I'm going to have to post that one in the ID thread...I'd really like to know what that one is... Superb cabs but wouldn't expect anything else from you! That OJ is a lot nicer than some that I have. The last 2 palm cabs are just magnificent! Thank you my friend! I have some OJ tumbles that were given to me...some of the REALLY good material. I may have to take another look at them to see if I can rework them into actual cabs!  Gorgeous as always! Love them all - not sure I could pick a favorite but the palm root cabs are really eye catchy! Thanks Peta! I didn't think those Palm Root cabs would be the pick of the litter...but they seem to be! LOL They’re all beauties jasoninsd . When I got to the palm root, my mouth dropped open and all I could do was stare. They’re definitely my favorites. Thanks for showing. Thanks my friend! Now you know how I look when I see the pics of YOUR tumbles! Awesome, awesome batch Jason!! Love them all especially the OJ! How’s the job going? Thanks Ashley! Oh...it's been a real pain for the last three or four weeks...if I'm being honest! LOL Nice. Some fine material right there. Thanks Stefan! I do feel lucky to have snagged several of these materials! |

Sweet, sweet work, Jason! Wow!
Your post's title also caused me see faces in your images, except for the OJ and Palm Root.

I have a ton of fun trying to find the right shapes in the hopes of framing the part of the pattern I'm seeing as the best part in the slabs. Sometimes it works out! |
