Nice cutting, good to see some of my kids are doing well in the foreign exchange program!! I always like to see my rocks as they travel around the world, gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling!

Looks like you have been real busy. Like the Tiffany slabs the best. Looking forward to seeing pics of the Blue Mt Jasper, and the Paiute. Thanks for posting. Daniel

Don't lick the Mushroom Jasper unless you have the rest of the day free and plenty of Pink Floyd on hand!
Cool stuff!

Thanks for your comments all. Bikerrandy, No I do the same as catmandewe fill a bucket, that's about 3 months worth I don't get as much time, as I have other commitments. Tony Your Kids are very well behaved, will have to adopt some more. Roxy Shroom jasper's from Arizona www.greatslabs.com/slabs_jasper_red_mushroom.shtmlThe tiffany stone I don't think really is that, I bought it as that doesn't look anything like the other slabs I have. Michaeljohn It would have to be Floyd. I won't lick the shrooms tho I have to work. Simon

Nice cuts. I have to agree the tiffanystone might not be that. I sliced a nodule the other week, very very purple. I love mushroom jasper too.

Simon, I bought tiffany stone from great rough and it had like a white shell you could sort of chip off and then Tony slabbed it, some slabs were more white, it has a bad smell I think on the wheel, like a chemical smell.
I got some of that mushroom jasper from great slabs very pretty stuff, you are going to have lots of nice material to cab. Amber
