Very nice!! How was it to work with? I'm tempted to get some but it's often a bit rich for my blood on eBay...

Thank you! I can do soft I think. I was worried it was crumbly or needed stabilized. That is a beautiful cab.

Pretty stone, nice cutting. But I'm confused: the Kaleidoscope jasper I know of comes from Oregon. Is there a Utah source as well?

Don, thanks Don. There's nothing like trade names to create consumer confusion and chaos.

It is fluorite + some copper oxides. Pieces I have are very soft with mixed hardness (Mohs 2-4) that makes it almost impossible to avoid undercuts = hookedonrocks did a fantastic job on that piece.
