Number 2 is unusual. It looks like a little mortar and masonry work was done by mother nature. Sure you didn't cut into a piece of fossilized floor tile?

Could be a tile from the lost city of Atlantis... I remember reading somewhere that the Olympic Peninsula has fallen and risen from the sea three or four times in geologic history. This material sure looks like it's moved around a lot!

Wow, that's some cool poppy jasper. I've never seen white Olympic poppy jasper. The orbs and streamer (?) thingys are really pretty, and color, too.

Thanks! I have only found two pieces showing the white micro poppies, but now that I'm looking for it, I'm seeing the signs in other patterns. It sure is fun to find! I think I posted this one in a different thread here already, but it's worth showing again. I'm getting kooky over this!
