Unknown Pastel colors
« on: August 17, 2017, 05:03:52 AM »

Just started work on this the other-day, was amazed at the pastel colors it is showing.  Not sure what the rough is, it actually appears to be a wood replacement from a soft spot in the rough.

Difficult to be sure without seeing a larger piece, but the colors and banding remind me of Goldfield "jasper" we have.
