Black and yellow/gold slab needed(found)
« on: November 22, 2017, 04:57:14 AM »
I have been issued an assignment by my wife for a Christmas present for a coworker and I need a slab of something black with gold/yellow(school colors).
a: Does anyone know any material fitting this requirement?
b: Does anyone have any material for sale matching this?

Just making a simple pendent so it doesn't need to be a giant slab.
Thanks.

I don't have any but Apache Gold sounds like it would meet your requirements.  It is Chalcopyrite (metallic gold) in black shale

This slab was posted by HOOKEDONROCKS recently. Something like this work?



Apache Gold is the right colors, but it will probably be pretty dark.

oooh... good suggestion! Hadn't thought of that one.

There are also some Kentucky agates that might fit the bill. Quality there can be pricey though.

I have a couple bumblebee jasper slabs that have those colors plus a few others. Pretty stuff.

I picked up a slab of Apache Gold. From the examples I have seen finished, it looks perfect for my needs.  Thanks everyone!

If still needed, I have slabbed up some nice Stone Canyon jasper....colors shown in attached.  Just finished up 21 cabinet pulls for my sister in law (also shown) as they take a nice polish as well.

Thought I'd post a link to the photo of how this quest turned out. Just in case anyone finds this thread and is curious.
