This slab was from a box marked picture jasper and found this slab. It is brecciated Owyhee.

I've really come to like brecciate anything. Looking through old boxes of rocks is like seeing old friends again.

My camera makes the object too light with a dark background.

Sure is a pretty slab. I love finding good stuff that I forgot I had.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

It is Owyhee and it is brecciated, but I can't find brecciated Owyhee anywhere. It is probably just lumped with Owyhee.

I took a template, laid it over the slab and rotated the slab to see all the possible scenes. Anything that incorporated the brecciated part, just looked weird. I could cut an ok cab from it, but that would be a waste.

I have a cigar box for picture jasper and will add it. At least I'll know where it is.
