Thanks!
Actually not being chatoyant is good for me. Have troubles with tiger eye.
Yeah, I would like bigger pieces as well but not much luck finding chunks or chips
say 2" to 3" long, 1 1/2" wide, and 3/4" to 1" thick. Did find a place (Gems by Mail)
that does have some larger pieces but the shipping to Canada is really expensive.
Noticed that a lot of people buy slabs but they seem to be mostly a standard thickness
for standard cabs. But I need thicker. There is thicker out there but then it's to large
and I only have a 6" trim saw. I guess I am the oddball that wants sizes between
what's generally available.
Some stuff I get in Canada you get some larger pieces in a bunch of rocks but
it not guaranteed. Well, no one said lapidary was going to be easy.
I might take a chance on a couple of pounds of the Tiger Jasper. They also sell
on eBay Canada so shipping is not so bad.
