I bought a 1.6 pound parcel on auction on ebay. It was heavily contested and glad I got it.
The largest piece was naturally the least. The second row is why I bought it. I have a slab of the first row and liked the first two slabs of the second row soaking off the board. The first row piece was unusual. Most of it looks like poppy jasper and is heavily silicated. Despite the fractures there are a few cabs to be cut. The bottom right pieces are very gemmy. The face was dome polished and the back was like a bumpy road. I split it and made 3 preforms.
