Hmmm. Looks a little like it though I'm used to seeing more crazy lace type patterning, zig zags, eyes, geometrics, fortifications etc. Softness is a key too as Rodeo Lace ( sometimes see it called Rosetta Lace/Stone which was it's name when I first saw it a shows) is sort of a semi-silcified travertine-type stuff and in all I've got, only parts are quartz hard. That red-orange/white color combination is certainly right for the material though.....Mel

I have no idea what it's called, but it sure is pretty.

The third picture I posted has a crazy band running across the top of the piece on the left. It looks just like the band that is running down the right side of the slab you have in the second picture, they are different colors but the patterns look just alike. These pieces I have are not as hard as a jasper, they were very easy to cut and shape on the wheels. Thats about all I know about the stuff.
