Here is a stone I cut this morning from the material I collected on Friday and Saturday. This stone came out with a star but I had a hard time capturing the asterisms on camera. This photo shows distinct "eye" If you look carefully at this photo you can make out five rays Here is one to show the shine and color and lastly one of the more common material Thanks for looking

Thank you everyone. I really like this material also. I love that you can cut star stones with it. I have to admit that I do not have the technique down yet but I will with more practice.
I just think it is awesome to be granted the opportunity to collect this material. Lots of hard work and getting it up the mountain isn't easy....but I am a rock-hound and it doesn't matter.....as long as I get the rock!!!!!!

Really nice! I can't see the rays very well but the photos can be deceptive! I know how much more beautiful they are in person and that shine is amazing! Great job! Fran
