Well ,can't win them all with Lakers. Nothing was showing on this one so I started grinding, and turns out it only had some subtle banding. Mostly looks dark brown in normal light but light it up for the picture.  Before pic. Had high hopes.   Had a piece of Jasper dopped so I cut that right after. Looks kinda like a tornado!  |

Too bad about the laker, it looked so hopeful. That Jasper is amazing!

Gorgeous shine!  If that was a 4-color jasper, and that being only one color, you should have had 75% off!  I've heard the old saying "Don't cook bacon in the nude"...and with the shine you're getting on those rocks, don't be takin' pics in the ole birthday suit either! |

When I saw your Laker cab I actually started salivating — such a great piece of caramel!

That Laker might not have been what you wanted, but with a shape and shine like that it would make a great pendant stone.

The laker is gorgeous! Even a laker doesn't need fortifications when you can get a perfect shine on it.
