Got some time to cab during the holiday...mostly jaspers from the Willamette River + 1 unknown.
red jasper
tan/red jasper
tan/black jasper yin/yang; I have never found another with this color combo
blueish green jasper; these are hard to find
an unknown found in the same place; petrified wood maybe?
thanks for lookin' sorry for semi blurry pics, I am still using an old point and shoot with shop lights

Outstanding cabs, cobbledstones! Love the red jasper heart and yin/yang cab! The tan and red jasper is sweet, too, and reminds me of Morrisonite.

Ed Time and frustration with the edge of belts, still have some scratches there if you look close. I have a much bigger appreciation for the rockin heart I'll tell ya that!
