Poppy jasper madness is now Orbicular Odin's Day

My favorite material, always heavily fractured but beautiful stuff: 








Some random alluvial finds that are cool

Thank you, and glad to post em up! I'll keep putting my new finds in here too. Maybe less time between posts haha

Depends how bad it is honestly. I don't have a vacuum chamber to do it properly with Cactus Juice or Opticon, but I've just done crack sealing with Hxtal on slabs before. A lot of it you have to stabilize, it's kind of the nature of California poppy jasper.


Mostly I just embrace the fractures lol

Also, a lot of the time if you're gentle they hold up fine. As long as they're not super crumbly, which some of it is. I typically don't pick up the crumbly stuff unless I'm keeping it as reference material to prospect the vein. Some of the veins are so crumbly you gotta keep digging to get solid chunks

A jasper slab with orbs:



One of my favorite slabs but it is grainy and porous...
