Howdy folks,

Posted a pic of this rough awhile ago. Have been doing some slabbing lately with really nice results. Thought I'd share a couple of more pics. I guess this would more properly be termed Plume Jasper as it's really not translucent. Nice plume development though! I hard rock mined this vein material at a site called the "Fluorite Mine Digs" in the North Cady Mountains last spring. The first pic is a cut parallel to the veining the second, perpendicular.Thanks for looking....Mel

Totally different depending on the cut but I like both views.

I like the way it loooks cutting in the direction of the 2nd pic. The Plumey parts really stand out! Steve

Lol I thought that was funny but she doesn't do rocks so never mind her. robert
