Three more, I hope you enjoy. An Unknown Jasper. The colors are soft & pastel, they remind me of Easter. Two photos of a Polka Dot Jasper. Chinese-writing Stone. It has some red spots that I haven't seen before in this material. Thanks for looking. Rich

Ditto on the polka dot. You have a way with finding a great orientation.

Thanks everyone! The Polka dot defiantely has the best shine of the group.
rockjunquie, I obsess over the shape & orientation. It’s the hardest part of the process for me, committing to the shape & drawing the line on the slab.
Ed, my wife Anna said the same thing about the orientation, you both have a better eye than me.

Nice cabs Rich but I favor the Polka Dot J&asper the best. Polka Dot is some more hard material and is the reason it takes a super polish. 39don

I liked the shape you chose for the last one but the polka dot is the winner.

Nice Rich, and these weren't even snow storm inspired! The writing stone yielded a perfect shape for that cab shape, I like.

The first one looks like a purple jasper from the Rio Grande garvels of Texas. Those red dots look like garnets The polka dot is self explanatory. I like your placements. Often random patterns with a boundary that you line up w/the shape.
Kaos + order. Keep em coming Rich
