This might be the wrong place to post this, but I am looking for a really good slab of Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper - 1/4 inch thick, cabbable, classic material.
Any thoughts?

*L* I have a thought all right. Where can I get some? I've seen a little at the Snyder Ranch Pow Wow last year but all was heavily fractured or only of fair quality and, super expensive! In recent years, the good stuff has pretty much dried up and I pretty much buy any good slabs I can find, if I can have it in hand to check for fractures first. Unfortunately, most is heavily fractured, often so much so as to be unusable. My policy when cabbing is to drop the slabs on soft ground and see where they fracture, then cab the pieces that break out clean....Mel

I recommend this seller on ebay: philosophersstone. Good material and good seller to work with. I have made multiple purchases from him.
