Really nice work, but you consistently produce beautiful stones. I could not come up with the name of the stone on the first pic. Thanks! Mike

I was going through my slabs today and realized that I have a lot more old OJ than I thought. I should start cutting into some. Yet, I hold back..... Seriously, I want to hoard it, but I know I can't take it with me.

I really like the Burro Creek and that particular cab shape just adds to the overall beauty. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely, as usual. I've seen that marble called "Spiderweb marble" or "Spiderweb jasper" a bit.

Beautiful. The Burro creek caught my eye the most, both regarding the color and the shape.

Those are nice cabs. That Picasso is different from others I've seen with some brown in them in addition to the black gray and white. You might want to hang on to the OJ because the price is going sky high on that stuff since it's been said there is no more to be found or it is inaccessible or something like that. Some in Quartzsite were wanting $10-$15 per pound for OJ this year. I think the Christmas Tree is the same stuff that is from the Cady's Mountains and was also called Pickett Plume Agate (named after John Pickett) but I think the Christmas tree agate was a different seam than the pickett plume. Sheez, they come up with all sorts of names for the same rocks depending on if you are buying, selling, collecting, or just looking at them...lol. I've heard the Picasso called Picasso Marble, Picasso Stone, and Picasso Jasper.
