toiv0 looks like it could be Imperial Jasper to me. Some of the really old stuff that is difficult to find now would have that color green that was translucent like that. It also had the white matrix. Beautiful stuff and one of Vince's favorites. We look for it, but haven't found any in years.

Robin

"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."

-- C.S. Lewis

The crust looks the same as several pieces of imperial jasper that I have and have seen.

Robin told me I should look at this thread. Lots of happy in our house now. Thank you.

For those who haven't seen translucent Imperial, here are pics of a cab I cut nearly ten years ago. I really liked it, but it found a home elsewhere... .

Now the backlit one.

Really enjoyed laying that one out on the slab and seeing it survive the process.
