That's a sweetheart! What is the scale there? Is that from Stoney Creek, CA?

I would have to leave that one as is. A true specimen. Nature's finest. Imagine finding a whole pocket of that stuff.

Haha talk about adding fuel to the fire - it's 4:50 am and were headed out the door on a day trip up to Stony Creek. I'll be dreaming about this rock now the whole time :-) Beautiful piece - thanks for sharing it with us.

That's Morgan Hill poppy jasper, fairly large specimen, for scale, it's slightly larger than largest rock in this pic. The only rock on the saw block in the future will be this middle rock. Can only see with my 7x eyelupe but that rock is loaded with micro poppies with quartz eyes, and small yellow poppies in a background of hematite.
