Wow, that is beautiful stuff! One I hadn't heard of, so it must be really rare.

I've been enjoying the clouds and rain the last couple of days. High was 74 and tonight it's supposed to get down to 52. I love it! The newspaper had an article that said this monsoon was in the top 10 wettest on record for our area and that more rain by 9/30 would put it in the top 5. I think we got there.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

Well, I did have to Google Rose Eye Jasper, just to see what's out there. There are five pictures of this material that pop up with Google. It's absolutely stunning material! In that second picture, I can see two roses...one at the top, and then one center-left. I can see where the material got it's name. You've got some gorgeous specimens right there!
