Agree on the Apache.  Is the Jasper from the town in Wyoming?

I love your stones - nice work and composition.  However, I hate your noisy background - it detracts from your work.  Why not consider a nice uniform grey or green depending on the stone.  Just saying.

Love that scenic rhyolite. To me it looks like the picasso isn't in focus, but the other three look great!

Thanks for the comments.  The Lysite bamboo jasper I found as float north of the town of Lysite off the road over Cotton Wood Pass. I picked the background for the photos because it seems to give me the best color reproduction with my I-Phone.

Very odd that anything like that Bamboo would be found in Wyoming. It looks exactly like the Bamboo material coming from China for the last 10 years.

Here are a couple of slabs that differ greatly from the Chinese material all from the same location.

Yowza. That's some nice material. I hadn't seen that bamboo out of Wyoming before.

Also, as others have said, the apache rhyolite cab is drool-worthy!

I have a slab of bamboo jasper.  A friend gave it to me as he is too busy with other stones.  Your cabs with this material have given me the incentive to finish this slab out.  Thank you!
