I was fortunately able to sneak another couple of afternoons on the wheels this week, and have a variety of different stones, one curious to me, that I hope someone can ID.
Also want to THANK Randy, RWA3006 for helping add variety in my life  Picasso Jasper:
I'm in love with this stone.
Unfortunately, you can't see the sparkles in the photo.
Palm Wood
I can't wait to wrap this one-the pattern with a woven wrap should hopefully look quite nice. Alabama Petrified Wood AKA Mega Pumpkin Mushroom Jasper Pink Amethyst Or at least that's what I had written down that it was, although it's not pink, in the right light it has a slight lavender hue, otherwise I might call it almost gray ?
Mystery ? I got this one as a small preform in some box I purchased, no idea. It's an interesting stone, almost a matte finish, with the black, metallic-looking veins taking a high polish.
The areas between the veins were soft & muddy. Anyone have an idea ?
Update-Indian Paint Stone (thanks miket )
Thanks for looking,
Patty

I really like it as well.
I decided to stay away from the compound with that one, and just polish up to 50K diamond on my end lap, as I knew it would just fill up the pores. But it polished up pretty that way, so I'm happy.
Very nice! I'm going to say Indian Paint Stone... Thanks, Mike, I believe you are right.
The only Indian Paint Stone I've seen before (and cabbed) had a very different gray background. But they both have the "veins". Good call-thank you |

Oh wow! I love that Indian Paint stone! Nice one. Yeah, it doesn't really take a polish, but it is so pretty. It's silicated mud. Nice job on them all. I really like that palm, too. |

They all look so great! The mushroom jasper is my favorite because you (or just me) don't see that material very often.

Definitely wound up with a smaller cab than I started with  They all look so great! The mushroom jasper is my favorite because you (or just me) don't see that material very often. Thanks, Pebblesky.
I like the mushroom jasper as well. I've seen some people call it soap bubble, but I prefer mushroom.

Nice mix of great cabs. I'm a fan of the Indian Paint Stone too, but coming in at a very close second is the mega pumpkin. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice work on all of them. It's so interesting to see a variety of materials together, thank you for posting them! They are all lovely, each has it's own little charm. The Picasso jasper is nice - I think you chose a good shape to show a really neat scene. The Palm is super shiny - you really got a great polish on that one! Mega Pumpkin - It's hard to believe that's a pet wood - it looked almost like sunstone! Amythest - I had to blow this one up to see the detail of the stone, it came out so pretty. Indian Paint is such a cool material, I think you did it justice. Great job - can't wait to see what you make with these. |

The Alabama Pet Wood is special to me, as it's self collected, which is not something I get to do much, in my neck of the woods.

It's fun & sometimes extra challenging to do completely different stones at the same time.
