Whenever my husband puts something in a “safe place” it becomes my job to figure out what strange place he put it in this time…. Good luck! I just need to look in the highest places. LOL!

#'s 6 and 8 are driving me nuts. I know I have seen them, but I can't find anything like them in all my books. I believe 6 is Monarch jasper and 8 is Owyhee Gem. Thats my best guess anyways! Tony I thought Owyhee Gem, too, but it's so different and it looks redder.

rockjunquie- Great idea! I've found them in drawers, under the couch, under the bed... every time I find one he yells, "Hey! where you going with that??!!" I saw similar to #8 looking one on the Hans site which he called owyhee picture. Not that it isn't Owyhee gem, I'm not suggesting that, just saying that it has a similar color red. Does hans show owyhee gem in his books? I was proud of myself for knowing they weren't just called "Owyhee," until I heard there were 93 varities and I only knew 4. Now I feel like I need to put a lot more time into Owyhee jaspers.

I think that's been a pretty new thing to differentiate it from other owyhees.
This just doesn't really look like it. It's much more red and doesn't have the buckskin color outlining it. I mean, it could be it, if so, it's really special. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

The red is much more red in hers. Not saying she edited! Maybe it's my screen.

I like that idea pebblesky - with 93 varieties, everyone might be able to contribute to it!
