I received this from pebblesky. Thanks! It is the top one in the first photo. I cut this on the saw and still have an end cut left. The white mateial undercut a little during polishing. I was going to have a different shape because there was a crack but it kind of went away during polishing (wish that would happen more often) so I pretty much left it in the shape it was.       Thanks for taking a look, Chris |

Very nice indeed! That reminds me of a cab I cut from a lake Michigan stone. A bit darker green though with no translucence. Possibly nephritis, I've heard of it being found in the great lakes on occasion.

Now I will be thinking about that all night. |

Okay, I found both the stones I was thinking of (remarkably enough)!! The second one really does look like nephrite to me! The first one seems similar but I do also get a jasper vibe from it. Either way, I think they're both beautiful!   |
