That is pretty. It is not the same as the Australian snakeskin I got from GemCenterUsa. Guess the name gets reused a bit.

Yep that is some sweet stuff. I've seen it as Howardite as well. Dan (HPD) has posted some amazing cabs from this material. Steve

Awesome and rare material. I've always heard Howardite or Rattlesnake Jasper. Snakeskin Jasper is usually the red and white Aussie jasper. I looked for that for years at California shoes and only saw a single cab....Mel

Thank You, I am hoping to get enough to sell, the bad part is they won't be cheap. Clint

I can see why you were trying to track it down. Well worth the hunt.

That is beautiful. I've been looking for some for a while. The rough seems to be more scarce than the finished pieces but both are hard to find.

That is an amazing piece of rattlesnake! How big is that slab? I suspect it is kind of small but will make an amazing cab! Good luck on your hunt for more! Fran
