Before I started to slap this particular rock, there was nothing that indicated it to be anything other than a "plain" jasper of some kind. After slabbing it and seeing the clear, see-through areas, I'm no longer sure of what it is. Does anyone have any ideas? I think I found it in SW CO this summer.

That is certainly a pretty slab! It looks to me as though it might be Stone Canyon Jasper from California, however its really hard to be certain!

That's beautiful! Would look awesome polished and set out on display with a stand and light. Does look like Stone Canyon material.
