I've been trying the get some of this for a while. Great slabs had some. The color is different than what I had before. Mine was tan. I like the patterns on this material. I ordered these:

That looks like what we call Devil's Toenails here in Texas. Ours come in that orange color occasionally too....Mel

I've been looking for this for a long time. None on ebay and no nice slabs on etsy. A search on Devils Toenails results in a fossil.

I had one slab that was more tan that I cut three cabs from, but can't get anymore in that color.

His cabs are beautiful. I like the color of your more recent finds. The yellows and reds add a lot. Never seen any of that color before.

I paid $21.50 plus $8.50 shipping for the four slabs. I looked for other stuff but nothing else caught my eye.

Nope haha. I keep saying it but my material is nothing like the devils toenails stuff which is jasper hard. Mine is very soft sandstone (mud) with clam shells embedded in it

I like your stuff. Must be related to my always wanting to be challenged. Besides, I think they are beautiful.

My slabs arrived today. Because of the photography for material you don't have a lot of experience with, buying can be tricky. The color of the actual material was much closer to what I had before and preferable to what I thought I was buying. More brownish red than yellow red.

dry then wet:
