i had this small piece of jelly bean jasper. Its too bad it fell apart when i was cutting it. i still really like all the colors. heres the next 2 rocks i am cutting. The green is very bright. To me there is nothing like a classic black and white. Can't wait to get some slabs off both of these. ty ralph and mary ann

That jelly bean stuff was pretty, the green is too!

The last photograph looks like nephrite from the Teanaway River area in Washington.

I have some similar green and white tumbling material. it cuts like hard agate and is a little difficult to polisk in places- there's some grainy gray material in some pieces. i had not considered it might be nepgite. Anyway, is there a source for this beautiful stuff? i'd like some piecews large enough to cut slabbetes.
