Petrified Pokemon Poppy jasper:

DSC_2845_Petrified pokemon poppy jasper by Stephan T., on Flickr

From the estate collection.

Locale unknown. Doesn't look quite like MHPJ, but, then again, there is quite a bit of variety in that material.

Too bad about all the fractures. I guess that is why the previous owner shellacked it. Not what I would have done, but I'll leave it.

Another Halloween PJ:

DSC_2895_Halloween face poppy jasper by Stephan T., on Flickr
A piece of Morgan Hill poppy jasper rough with orb eyes (including a third eye), and a polyhedroid mouth. Nice Halloween colors.

I'd love to polish this for emphasis, but with wheels, I might lose the face. A flexshaft would be nice, right about now.

The last one was in March 2018...I guess you could say we haven't had a blue moon in a blue moon...wait...I guess that would be me being redundant as well as repeating myself!

If you look up the definition of redundant in the dictionary, it says "see redundant"! LOL

That’s okay. Wel’ll forgive you. It’s no worse than some of our tautological place names:
Both Rio Grande River and Mississippi River = Big River River
Lake Tahoe = Lake Lake
The la Brea Tar Pits = The the tar tar pits
The Milky Way galaxy = The Milky Way milky
The Sahara desert = The desert desert
Just for starters

The Department of Redundancy Department has been busy.
