Seeing all of those colors together is cool, those are all awesome! It's to hard to pic out a favorite.

That's an impressive bunch of CaboJohns! I couldn't possibly pick yout my fave because every time I look back at the photos I see something new. I do like the Morrisonite and the willow creek. That "rosetta" one really stands out too! It's a serious drool-fest.

Man I am so jealous! That is a neat collection of cabs. The red and white one looks like one of the varieties of Hornitos Poppy jasper to me. If you look at page 7 of the rock ID section on this site and check out the left specimen in the second pic down you'll see a slab from that same outcrop from my collection...mel

Those are definetely some nice cabs. How did you wind up owning so many Cabojohns? In fact John's cabs were a big inspiration for me when I was first starting to cut cabs. He has a good eye for cutting just the right spot in the slab to create an awesome cab.

The rock you describe as "i don't know what the red/white is - i was calling it rosetta" is Mariposa Poppy Jasper. One of the poppy jaspers from California. Morgan Hill is the most famous but there is also a more beautify Guadalupe.  |
