Got a bunch of slabs, and was surprised at how much blue was inside. Here are some rough pics

Some of the red parts look the same, but I have never seen a Tabu with blue. Also, the tabu usually has a translucent agate between the breccia pieces. It is closer to African Flame jasper, but I have no reason to believe this is not from Brazil as advertized.
