Well, was planning on saving these for tomorrow so I don't overload all y'all with poppy pics , but the dang feed overheated again and I'm having to let it cool so here's some cuts from this morning. Thanks for looking.....Mel A single Sierra Primrose Jasper slice, which is all you get from the smaller nodules, and a few slabs of Firefly Jasper which is a unique type and one of my all time favorite jaspers to cab. Firefly cabbed: Sierra Primrose Jasper cabbed:

Being new to rockhounding I did not know there that many types of jasper, but am not only impressed with the diversity but how great some of y'all are at making them into such beautiful pieces. Keep up the good work.

The Firefly is definitely tumbled as it finishes up fantastic in the vibe. The Sierra Primrose cabs are about half and half. Small cabs I often just finish on the wheels as it's easier and faster.....Mel
