This is a piece of Olympic Poppy Jasper. Kind of a witches cauldron with some bubbles rising from the brew.

How big is it? Is this a new style for a man's tie? I like it.

I like this a lot. I like it better than one hole. Guess you would need a large stone for it, though.

Thank you all for your comments.
The stone is about 1 1/8" wide and 2 3/8" long. The holes are 4mm. The biggest challenge was to drill without getting blowout.
This material is fun to work with, but messy. The saw oil turns red, as does the water when grinding/polishing. Each piece, though, presents unique combinations of poppy. Here's a more conventional shape from the same material.

I like the two hole look. (FYI - Here in MT a two-holer is a double occupancy outhouse - just sayn) Cheers

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
