This is typically pale red or dusty green, with some change of shade. Generally none of the orbs and scallops seen in Royal Imperial. This year I saw a lot of bright pink and neon green Imperial at the Central Oregon pow-wow's And it even has some hills!

Ooh, that's purdy! I love the pink/green combo.
I like this thread...would love to see folks post more like it. It really helps to see slabs and learn HOW to ID.

just my shorthand. There is Imperial and Royal Imperial. The later is often in smallor medium white skinned nodules with stacked orbs, but some are washed out. The non-royal tends to be larger and have white on top or bottom. I do not know if it is large broken nodules or more of a seam jasper.

The green in that slab is incredable! Thanks for the info on the difference between the two. A while back my bead supplier told me that the imperial was no longer being mined and they could not get any more. Shortly after, the Royal Imperial shows up. I figured it was the same material but with a slightly different name to generate more interest. Whatever. The material is beautiful
