Hi all: I talked myself out of spending the day rockhounding since it is quite rainy today. So to console myself for the lack of a quality outdoor experience I spent a little time finishing up this cab of Bruneau Jasper. It is 2" X 1 1/2". I picked up the slab for a dollar at a garage sale last summer.

Thanks for looking

Can't say I've ever stumbled across a slab like that at a garage sale! All the rocks I've ever seen at a sale were dyed pink, purple, or blue.
