Both are striking and new to me. Is that dark silver hematite in the gold piece?

If the pink one could have been oriented the other way the breccieated would have been about like the Stephoinite. It was too thin to cut the other way, I thought it looked cool the way its oriented.

I f it had been cut across the grain you wouldn't have been able to see the small lake in the middle of the dry hills.

Fluted Jasper?The stefonite jasper... Is it in Wyoming? Wyoming is loaded with good stuff. The Blue forest is my fantasy when I get a life and can dig for a couple weeks. Take my "Badger"Ryan with me...grin.

I LOVE cutting steffoinite. Agatized mud. When well silicated it's stunning.
