The first three are self collected material that I previously had cut. Unfortunately, when I was a member of the SMS, the line for the slabs saws was long, so it was hard to get more than 2 or 3 slabs cut from any rock, and usually at least one of those would be traded. I don't have a saw, money for one or room to put it. I do have a friend that sometimes has time tomake a few cuts, so hopefully, gradually, soon... Black Butte Lake (pretty material, but the yellow is soft in many places, and not all the fractures are healed. Nature determines much of the outcome): IMG_2532_Faced Black Butte jasper by Stephan T., on Flickr This one has a few orbs hiding in the yellow IMG_2540_Faced Black Butte jasper by Stephan T., on Flickr Cache Creek (up near Clear Lake, I think): IMG_2539_Faced Cache Creek jasper by Stephan T., on Flickr This one came from the rock pile at the SMS, if I remember correctly. It could also be from the estate rocks. I don't recall, and I've never worked with any of this: IMG_2579_Faced unknown jasper by Stephan T., on Flickr

The jaspers are gorgeous but I really like the bottom rock. I also have zero clue what it is; maybe some kind of quartz? Pretty stuff though!

As I was reading your post, I could see the Black Butte Lake in my peripheral vision. It kept looking like a tree in Fall with red leaves...
