Okay the following is a picture of some slabs I scanned in so the quality of the photo will probably make it hard to id. They are pretty shadowy and of course the shine doesn't show.
The top row take a good shine but the edges keep getting beat up in the vibe. The light areas are somewhat see through. I seen something called spiderweb jasper and read how it forms could this be what it is? I killed the poor big rock with hammer and acquired the slab saw the following week. Was wondering is smacking it like that weakened it internally, because it will chip out some times.
The second one is another garden rock, doesn't take a high shine but I kind of like the pattern.
The third row stuff shines up pretty good. It has coppery red and yellow swirls going on.
The Lower two in the left corner is some type of quartzy rock with red splashed in (looks like a streak of lipstick in person). Takes a good shine. I tend to zero in on quite a few of these rocks
The Lower right corner is a dark green slab that has a white vein that squiggles through it and the picture doesn't show it but it's pepper with silver flecks. It takes a pretty good shine.
Thanks for looking and any feedback is welcome (except about my crummy picture quality)
