Any of these would be good to enter.

That's one that vanilla-gorilla id'd as Chapenite Jasper. There's a lot of fractures in it but plenty of good material to work with. As I've slabbed deeper into the rock I've gotten into a lot more colors. It works really well.

I love the colors/pattern/tones in that stuff! It's gorgeous and it polishes amazingly well!!
