I can't really help on the id of this, but it sure is pretty. Could be something from the Owyhees or around that area.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Some of it had streaks and scenes, rather than bull's-eye layering.

This material came from a rock shop that closed in Austin, Texas. It consisted of small flat pieces that were greenish/red on the outside and looked layered. Most cabs were black, most showed some translucency when back lighted, and all took a great polish in the vibe. I didn't post the photos for the black cabs which most pieces were. My guess was most people wanted what I showed and not the black.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
