Dang ... why did I post this in the "buy/sell" area? I'm rusty on the whole posting thing I guess...

Nice polish on a gorgeous slab and glad it was saved for displaying. Have not heard of Pope Creek poppy before. Love the green "backgound" in it since I think most poppies have a reddish background? |

The blond thing usually presents itself in the form of a VERY dumb question that comes of out left field haha. I think this one was more like I was being rushed to turn the computer off and watch Game of Thrones with my sweetie - catching up on the last episode before the finale tonight  Yeah it's my first time seeing this material in person too - it is nowhere nearly as organized as ocean poppy jasper but some of the colors give opj a run for its money. |

Wow, that's a nice one and rare as all get out too. I used to have access to a big ranch in Pope Valley but mainly hunted arrowheads out there , not jasper. That's a very interesting region to explore...Mel

Cut it!
Better yet, let's find a friendly rancher in Pope Valley.
We will trade tumbles for access like Jamesp.

You can't cab that! There is no way that one cab could possibly show all the wonderful variety of colors in one cab, and why not keep the slab intact so that all the colors can be enjoyed in one single piece.
