The red & yellow mix could possibly be some older Lavic jasper. Gettin hard to find those colors now. Maybe Larry will chime in with his thoughts.

Group number one the red and yellow stuff, is Wingate Plume without a doubt. Other material looks like classic Cadys stuff. Could be from the north end or the south by Lavic.....Mel
