Last year (I think) I cut and polished several pieces from a slab that I purchased on-line. I have photos so thank goodness my memory going is not as final as it used to be. Can anyone id this (the banded pale yellow stones on the right)? thanks much. Don

I do not have a picture of the slab - wish I had taken one. My first guess was onyx, but I think the calcite is also a good bet. This forum has been the best source of information I have for all things 'Rock" - thanks captbob!!

Calcite scratches with a knife and bubbles under hydrochloric acid.
