Picture Jasper Question Jun 13, 2016 8:51:01 GMT -5

Hi,

When removing the Picture Jasper, which was 3/4 buried in the ground, one of the pieces broke in half. Is this common? It had been outside for about 20 years. The soil is mostly clay it was in, so little drainage. I did not mind, as it is a more manageable size now. This piece was about 10" square. Just concerned about when I finally cut/tumble it.
Thank you.

Listen to the rock. The rock knows its destiny. It will guide you in fulfilling that.

Two of them broke in half, but revealed beautiful patterns inside one of them. Outside now for a good rain soaking. Will post photos eventually. So, they might be OK for slabbing/tumbling?

What could go wrong? Slabbing? Better ask in the saws and slabbing section.

By the time I can work with my finds I will remember just how to do it. Lost part of that memory due to Carbon Monoxide poisoning in 2010.

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)
