I dragged the 10" outside for a bit of work today. It seems like most things that I like to cut make a huge mess.

That Picasso Marble has same amazing pattern in it...and that unknown Oregon jasper is killer - love the tones of brown in that one!

Maybe your mystery is opalized wood.
Looking good.

Looking good. Possibly, the pattern definitely looks like wood, but it's harder than any opal I've dealt with.

Both the Picasso and the mystery jasper are going to make killer tap handles! You'll need to update your tap picture when they have these 2 on there.
