Had a little time tonight so here are a couple trim pieces that I didn't have a plan for, and now they are shinier.

Yeah good question... I'm the worst at IDs so maybe someone will chime in :-)
Second one is Larvikite though!

Alex, you're making me think I should go through my saw trim bucket! However, I don't think I have any scraps that are as nice as those! LOL

Those are a couple of gorgeous saves from the scrap pile.

Some great cabs there! The first may be Lavic material from CA.

An example..

To be honest there's similar material in Arizona, Holt Canyon Utah, and spots in Texas and Mexico.

So.. who knows

The first really reminds me of some of the jasper I've found at Hampton Butte. Well done!
	Oooh shiny...
