I got 3 slabs from Blairrock, a Linda Marie and two Jellybeans which one was special. Laid out six preforms and had five fractures. I redesigned four and one of the redesigns fractured again. My favorite, bottom left, held together.

I got a good picture of the Linda Marie. The Jellybean on the left is a gorgeous cab, but I can't get a good picture. The Jellybean on the right is from another slab and the material is much softer. Getting the bottom right was difficult.

The second best Jellybean developed a vug, so I gave up the other one finished fine but it was a recut and I don't like the pattern.

I'm glad the material was inexpensive.

stardiamond The 3 preforms on the bottom row look like Indian Blanket jasper from South Western Utah. Google it.
I cut lots of it since it's local to me.
I've never heard of Jellybean.

I went there? Hounded the area for small float and got some.
