Howdy folks, Here's a pic of the 10 pound lot of fancy jasper I just got from Mark at superagates.com. Real nice material , solid and colorful and actually mostly all pretty nice bloodstone. Makes a colorful addition to a tumble mix and some pretty nice hunks for small cabs too.

Our friend up in Hopland at "the rock shop time forgot" had a little bin labled as IBS (for India Blood Stone) and all that was left last time was the red/orange/green fancy jasper pieces. I always grab a few pieces when I stop in- I have to say that is still amongst my favorite materials, it takes such an awesome shine, and the colors just jump out at you.
And that sure looks like a great parcel you got there Mel, you'll have to show us what they come out like.

Great stuff! I especially like the more striped piece toward the the bottom right. I checked out their website when a thread about them first appeared, I guess I should check again. Thanks for posting.
