#1 is some form of honey onyx, actually a calcite/arabonite/marble material in layers.

#2 seems jasperish, what kind? Who knowws....?

Any thoughts on origin of the red/white jasper?

I agree with SHOTGUNNER ABOUT SLAB #1. Slab #2 looks like material one of the guys in our local rock club brought back from one of his summer collecting trips out west back in the 1970s. If I remember correctly it was one of the varieties of "Wonderstone" (rhyolite) All of it he had was red/pink/white. No yellows, creams or tans like some of the other varieties have. I can't remember the location where he said he collected it.

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)
