Just received a parcel filled to the top with eye candies from Jason of NM Stone (supply). Jason, I cant thank you enough for the choices you made to fill up the box (I only bought two pieces trough Ebay and asked Jason to choose material for a medium flat-rate box). Was a bit worried about this much unseen material, but you are the man to risk it with. Super colors all round and some material I wanted to try since quite a while. OK here we go: Rhyolite group 1 and 2 And my favorites Onyx: a material I have never worked before and really look forward to get into. Love the colors. Brecciated material that I never worked before and I don't know the names Help, Jason Another I don't know, my favorite of the brecciated There is one more type but I seem to have lost the pic somewhere. LOL A wonderful Dentric something (absolutely love the black dentrites against near pure white background) plus another I dont know (Wood maybe) Possible Dino Poop and some Wood? Another I don't know plus a PolkaDot (very different from what I worked thus far) And finally some wonderful Jaspers. The slab on the right is actually a polished display-piece. Something I would normally not buy, but this is absolutely great and I think I might still use it in the future for some carving (sorry guys, but it has just the right thickness and the colors are great) Super stuff, overall. Love it, and certainly now have enough Rhyolite for a couple of years. LOL Thanks Jason

It would be really hard to beat a deal like that. A lot of room for your creativity there KK. I am sure we will see some awesome things come from this. Jim

Those are all great, but the rhyolite is over the top!

Jason Took some smaller pieces and finished 5 already to try out the different materials. One is posted at the Killer cab contest already; the others will follow tomorrow once I get pics that justify the quality. The colorful Rhyolite from the auction is bad ass. The finish gives Porcelain Jasper a run for the money. LOL But could not get pictures yet that really shows that fact off.
