Title: Unknown Pastel colors
Post by: MurphyStone 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.

Thanks i'll post up some pics of the slabs of the rough.  May still have an end cut around.
