Oh, my! That is beautiful stuff! New to me.
Some of the red areas remind me of prehistoric cave paintings. Thanks for the show!

That is awesome, looks a lot like Australian stuff, almost a hybrid mooka/noreena. Very nice and nice cab.

Nice! There's one material I've only seen in books. Really like the wild color combinations. Pretty stuff ad really cool that it's self collected......Mel

Pretty stuff ad really cool that it's self collected......Mel Thanks Mel - it's really hit and miss on the quality. I cut probably 10 rocks over the weekend and found maybe three that were awesome. The rest had nice patterns but were on the dark and drab side. The lighter shade background in combination with the red and yellow (dendrites?) filled fracture patterns looks a LOT like Noreena in person as herchenx pointed out earlier. Here's a couple more cabs I made from another location about 100 yards away as the crow flies. The material from this location tends to be more porous and runs more towards the banded rhyolite side but the banding only shows up in the corners of the rough seemingly.

Let's follow Tommy, GPS tracker and steal his hounding areas. Haha no need for that - come on out and I'll take you there. I typically just take a few pieces that I cut myself - the stuff is too hit-or-miss to sell even if I wanted too. I just worry that if I say too much the next time I go out to my favorite spot some yahoo will have slapped a claim on it. Here is a new cab from yesterday:
