Here's a neat slab I picked up at Quartzsite last month, some sort of brecciated jasper from somewhere, possibly California Thanks for looking!

Thanks everyone! This one was a surprise indeed. With Sabre52's ID confirmation I've changed the title from 'Cool Agate' to what I initially suspected.. 'Bull Canyon'

Here's some feedback from someone who hasn't cabbed in a few years.. so take it with a grain of salt. I think you're getting practice at working a somewhat difficult stone (a conglomerate with mixed hardnesses), and you're doing it with a tool that can be very aggressive with it's speed. It's a combination that teaches you what undercutting is all about. That being said, I think it's looking pretty darn good for a first time cab!

Another beautiful scenic display to get lost within Beautiful collage as always, bsky4463 ! I think you missed one though, between the Montana and the Rio. Nate I thinkin' the one he missed is a Condor.
