Got me stumped. There are several types of brecciated jasper form South Africa, many are the same or related except with different trade names. Forestfire Jasper, Tabu Tabu, Psyco Jasper etc. I suspect you have an atypical form of one of these breccias.....Mel

thanks man i moved allot of stuff here from jersey when i went for my little boat and its like all new to me haha haven't seen this stuff in 5 years -- i have a box here some-wear i got from Kim when she had her first shipment from Africa i know its here i just gotta find it if i remember right i got two big boxs from her like over 100 lb of cutting chunks -- this stuff was loose in buckets and looked like it had some color so i just been grabbin off the top of them -- i just drained the saw tonight its still drippin so tomorrow ill re fill and get back to it
i need to make myself more mobile just in case i need to hit the road there goin nuts with the rent here and i know of allot cheaper places i can move to not very far from here -- so i fig if i slab up most of what i have i can fit it all in buckets -- right now i have rock in everything and its all cutting size chunks so it don't fit well in buckets
if you seen my room out there you would laugh your azz off i got stuff every wear it looks like a junk yard haha
