I don't get along with clear agates whatsoever! I've "kind of" got a backup if things go sideways. I hand-slabbed some self collected opalized wood that is stunning and is gonna make beautiful cabs. It sounds to me like that opalized piece should go to the front of the line! LOL Love me some Gary Green/Freedom Jasper. As far as voting the snake skin definitely catches the eye and new to me. Thank you so much!  I know Brian got the pieces in the big slab auction quite some time ago. So, I know the piece came from a member. I can't remember who exactly it originated from, but it was stuck in my head that it was from someone who would have had "old stock" Gary Green. The material I "might" have heading my way from my sister one of these days is definitely the new "Freedom Jasper". The Soldier Canyon Snakeskin Jasper was new to me too. Googling it didn't bring up any material that looks quite like this. It had a piece of tape on the slab with the name on it... The Gary Green was part of Tommy's cutoffs. Boy, does he have some nice scraps! The Soldier Canyon was something I picked up from Blairrock. I'm pretty sure I have the other half of it sitting around here somewhere. |

Thanks for clarifying that Brian. Yeah...I should have gotten in on some of Tommy's "discards" he was getting rid of a couple months ago. His "discards" are better than most of our A+ materials!

I'm a little late to the party, but the last one takes the gold and the third one takes silver. The third one looks sort of like a landscape scene from another planet, with purple mountains and a pink/salmon sky.

LOL - I absolutely see that other-worldly landscape in that third one! |

My wife HATES curling! I freakin' love watching it*. There's a lot of similarities to pool when it comes to spin, combination shots, and carom shots! *I don't like some of the freaky yelling some of them do...but I can always watch on mute! LOL |

LOL I know, but imagine if -- after you hit the cue ball -- you could have a team of people able to speed up, slow down, or put english on the ball. It's like pool but taken to a whole different level. They don't yell any more than women's tennis players. Those ladies scare me when they get to yellin' like that. And a final note about curling: why do they have men's and women's curling? Does testosterone make you better at curling? |

After I hit the cue ball, I do a lot of praying...so I'm hoping to have the "big guy" on my team! LOL Imagine if pool players started yelling like tennis players every time they shot! LOL You're right. It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman, you've gotta have the "stones" to make it in curling! LOL |

Now imagine the cue striking the cue ball, and the player immediately letting out a scream! |

The very first time it happened, there would be a lot of "stains" that would have to be removed in that week's laundry!
