Peaches & Cream jasper
Moonlight Breccia
bubblegum agate
OOPS, I just read some of the previous posts and realized they're pretty similar...
BTW that red stuff in the slabs - looks like blood (which is what I thought bloodstone would look like)

OK, I'll play. #1: Feel the Burn, (after exercising, lol) and #2: Crispy Pink or Crispy Crackly Pink. Lovely stones that, for some reason, brought to mind burned flesh, so I tried to think happy. Go figure.

For new guys to this (me and my two boys...3tumblers), this material looks very cool!
We also see the blood theme in your new material. It also has a look that makes it seem alive. So...
1) Life Blood Jasper
2) Blood Line Jasper
3) Sangre Vida (or Sangre Vivo) Stone - adds a bit of spice to the english versions above ;D
We are very new to this, we have no real idea of the type of material it is. If it isn't jasper, sub the appropriate material name in its place.
Thanks for the contest desertdweller!

Hello Everyone,
Well, it is 12:30 here in Arizona and we have picked out our name. Rodney and I have decided that everyone that submitted a name on this thread wins a piece of "Hooba Jasper".
Susan, You win the slabs pictured on the first page.
We sat here reading the names before we left to go collect a bunch of this stuff last night, then while we were collecting the jasper we realized that it would be difficult to use a descriptive name. We picked up pieces that were purple and yellow, some were cream colored with dark reds and purples, some were black, yellow, pink and tan, others were pink, black and vibrant red, there were such dramatic differences in the colors and patterns of each rock we decided at that point it would be best to name it something that will be remembered easily and possibly catch on quickly, like Jade (for an example), or marble.
Since we didn't figure this out until the contest was almost over, we decided it would be fair to compensate everyone that participated.
Now, I need each person that entered a name on this thread to PM me with their home address and I think I counted 30 or 31 replies so these pieces will be mailed out in padded envelopes to all that participated.
Sorry it had to end like this but I think it will turn out to be a very good thing. With 30 or so people getting a chance to work with this stuff, we should have enough feedback and pictures to give any potential buyers some accurate and honest information.
So, Congratulations to everyone, thanks for the title Susan............Oh and you too Mark, the more we said it, the more we liked it.
Hooba Jasper.
