Love how this Sarape Jasper cabochon came out. I have a sister slab to it as well, which will likely wind up as a freeform, just to capture more of it.
Curious as to what the white/gray one in the lower left is. Have a few slabs of it, and if needed still have an uncut portion of the stone that has the rough/natural material on it. Pretty stuff. The dark gray almost seems to be slightly transparent.
Sarape cabochon is just over 1.25 inches on the long side.

Please do not put me on a pedestal, my balance is terrible.

The bottom left looks a lot like Burro Creek Pastelite to me.

I really like the shape. Patty

Pastelite certain looks close enough. Really pretty stuff.

I'm a sucker for something pretty and shiny so I pick that labradorite as my favorite. Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing - I love seeing them.
