I think those are very cool -- like some sort of alien-scene picture jasper.

Nice looking cabs John. That stuff is pretty wild looking. I take it you polished those with the diamond paste? And where the hell did you get that can? That's way too funny. Kinda ironic though.

Thanks for link deb193, it's been quite awhile since I visited Outback Mining's website, and a lot has been added. If that Noreena jasper is really 2.7-2.8 billion years old, that's getting back to some of the earliest remaining rocks on the planet! Also check out the tiger-eye this guy is finding! www.outbackmining.com/tiger-eye-block.jpg

hey with all the fractures i thought they blasted the stuff out but it looks like they just use heavey equip. maybe it fractured from quakes/shifts in the ground ---but who knows that could have been the first day diggin they might be 100 feet under ground now haha
Ed there a company in pa that makes all kind of sprays and where i usta work was givin a box of samples for automotive use to try out to see if we wanted to buy from them and we never did and they gave me the box cause i messed with cars thats one i had left -- they realy call them selve's stoner co.
food grade just means you can spray it on machines that are used for food prep nuthing in them are harmfull so it can be used around food

Hey I wonder if I can claim the rights to the name. Hell, I've been stoner in more ways than one since I was 16 years old. That's pretty cool though John. Are you using it with the diamond paste?
