Got a slab of this a few months ago from Christopher, really cool stuff!! The stripes are bright shiny silver over dark green. I wrapped it in sterling silver (22 gauge dead soft). This was kinda hard to get a good pic of, it looks 10 times better in person .......

Nice clean wrap showcasing that stone with a neat accent on top. Really nice.

Randy, that is some really awesome stuff! I'll have to see it in person. I've never seen or heard of this before. And, of course, your wrap looks great with it. ;D

That's really interesting looking jasper, the green part looks like jade. It's gorgeous!!

Wild stone! The sterling is perfect for it. I've never seen "silver leaf" look like that but that's probably because it wasn't "silver leaf." The stone makes the name make sense now though.

Great wrap. Is that material natural?

Thanks y'all! Yep, the stone is natural, although I'm starting to wonder if the name is correct. I looked at other pics on the internet and can't find anything like it. The closest thing that I ever saw to this stuff was when Ebay seller "mtminerals", aka Astrogallery was selling it as green tigereye. I also saw it as Green striped jasper. lol

Randy, I'd really like to see this one. Can you hang onto it? I'm thinking that the name matches the stone a whole lot better than anything I've seen anywhere.... The green and the silver make the name fit.

you mean to say the silver isn't silver leaf you applied to the stone for accent?
