Here's a few slabs I ended up with- I think I can get some good cabs out of it. Stuff that I bought from a rock shop near me last weekend. Chrysocolla and what I think is Blue Mountain Wild Horse Owyhee Jasper. If anyone knows differently please let me know. Dry, then wet. Thanks for looking!   |

The jasper looks like Wild Horse Owyhee to me.... Thanks! I just looked it up and I think you're right. It wasn't marked and the guy who sold it to me couldn't remember the name. I bought a bigger than fist sized chunk- they had a bucketful, I may just have to go back and get some more. Thanks again, sir!  |

The chrysocolla looks like it will make some nice cabs. These slabs all look nice!

Sorry, aDave, and saxplayer- Here's a pic, can't remember which model it is. A guy I know sold it to me for $100, which I thought was a pretty sweet deal- it even came with a nice, heavy stand... The old one I was using is in the background.  |
