Oh, you are so correct about that...      (Typing with a red face.) 

I profusely apologize for overlooking your gorgeous entry ToTheSummit, but not for being lippy.


And I'm still going to make the prize slab an optional material. 

And still post a cab today.  I'm still doing that too.

  I wish I were able to disguise what a giant goober I am but alas, I am not!

OK, here is my entry.  Even though I am not thrilled with it, it was the plan for this contest.  Red Jasper and what I think is Hematite but it undercut to the jasper really badly in the larger patches.  I waited until the sun was at a horrible angle to further enhance the quality of my photo.  -.-

Oh wow I thought that material looked good in slabs, now seeing it cabbed I realize IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cab contest is over on 3 days.  :)  I can't decide if I should post pics of the slabs now or wait for voting to further extend the suspense.  :D

Ok then...  I tried to select a variety of options.  The winner of this contest will be able to choose from the following:

I took pics of the slabs wet and dry, but only one side.

AZ Serpentine, self collected


IDontKnowite- It's hard, like granite but I never did find out what it is, I bought the rough because I liked the contrasting colors


IDontKNow Jasper- came from a friend who picked it out of a family members driveway in Utah


Brecciated Crazy Lace


Rainforest Jasper
