I'd say Imperial Jasper, nice! Hope this means new CaboJohns aren't too far off! ;D

yea beef got it its imperial haha -- but i did find a nice little box of workforce size chunks of willow creek thats my fav stone top 3 at least---- i cant believe all the rock i forgot i have haha
hey is this imperial a tough rock to cut its goin faster then the zebra agate i just did but its still takin like 2 hrs or so to slab a piece -- i flipped the saw over and checked the spring for the threaded bar and all seemed OK so i cleaned up under there to make sure the threads weren't clogged up and makin it skip--- but it still seems to be skippin on the threaded bar and cuttin very slow i even put the new lortone blade back on that i got with the saw and thats like brand new i only cut a few slabs wit it then i took it off for a thinner kerf blade

Snuffy, what are you talkin' about? I see a squirrel skiing down a pink ski slope in the first one. LOL.
Nice going Sands. Jo

All I see is the dog with a rat in his mouth with a cat coming up behind it in a pink fog. OR, two super knife handles. Ha ha ha Ken

looks like I'm gonna get a treat inside this one i really like the bulls eye eggs iv only got one other in a chunk of willow creek -- check this out here its starting little more and I'm hoping the next one is even better -- I'm gonna have to get out my big slab grabber and come from the other side after this slab heres the other one i found i got three slabs from it -- the gray and black ones i sold two of the bigger ones to the guy who owns the RV park for 150.00 he wanted to have a bolo and belt buckle made from them he competes in the quick draw contests with six shooters pretty cool
