Here are some of my latest cuts RAINBOW LEDGE JASPER CHERRY CREEK JASPER (new purchase from Quartzsite) OBSIDIAN ( I think this was rainbow.....but I am still learning how to cut it to make the colors show.......HELP!!!) I am not sure what this next set is, I got it on the yard clean up I did recently that yielded me about 1 ton of rock. If anyone recognizes what this material is I sure would appreciate it if you told us what it is...here is the photo Thanks for looking, Christopher

Hi Christopher,
Nice looking slabs. Like the green stuff. I know you've been busy slabbing lately. We're heading to Last Chance Canyon tomorrow, last minute decision. Heading up that valley to get some prime jasp-ag. If you need a break, come and join us!

Nice ledge agate and the green stuff looks interesting too, have you tried polishing any yet? With the sheen obsidians you want to cut with the bands and grind/sand down to the sheen pretty much like working down to the fire on spencer opal.

Nice batch of slabs, the rainbow ledge looks like it will produce some interesting cabs. I don't have a clue on an ID on the green stuff. Robert
