Nice Job KD!!-
It looks like you are hiding some Carnelian Agates back there, in your second photo.
I see um!
I love rocks with patterns!
and those are good looking rocks!
I'm gonna guess that it is Autumn Jasper, since (me thinks) Picture Jasper is to porous to get a shine like that.
I got some Autumn Jasper like that from WilliamC, and it polished up wonderfully.
I got some Picture Jasper from John Sands (Sandsman), and I might as well been trying to polish a terd.
It shaped up nice though.
The Green and Pink stone is very familiar, I'm sure someone has the name for it here. It escapes me at the moment. (well, not really, because you must have had possession of some thing to have lost it, and I merely had it within arms reach.)
I love the Red Stone with the stripe, I believe that is called "Racing Stripe Red Ruby Jasper" or something like that.
_{I gotta git off this board before I hurt myself, I'm having a meltdown or something}

;D

Thanks John;
I WAS having a little trouble with that one.
I was on a roll there for awhile.
I figured the 'Mario Andretti Red Ruby Racing Stripe Jasper' would be a bit much.
I don't think anyone would have bought it.
;D
