Slab ID help needed

[Mark]

Hi, I just bought this slab the other day and the dealer had no idea what it might be.  I haven't received it yet so i can't say what the texture is like or how heavy it might be.  So far I have had friends guess Thompsonite or orbicular rhyolite.  What do you all think?  Thanks, Mark.

I notice the photo is labeled Thompsonite, but not like the Thompsonite I am familiar with.

I want to guess some type of Ocean Jasper, but just not sure..

Beautiful orbs!

I just labeled the pics Thompsonite until I could find out what the slab really is.  The slab originally caught my eye because of an unusual Ocean Jasper cab I had purchased that was a similar color.  But I really don't think this slab is Ocean Jasper.  The Orbs seem more like rhyolite orbs as my one friend thought.  The slab kind of reminds me of some of the monotone Oregon spider web or lilly pad jaspers, or rhyolites.  Mark

Ya, and those two large orby like area don't look like something would see on an Ocean Jasper either. The orbs are sorta star bursty looking, for lack of a better descriptive word.

Really awesome looking.

Sort of looks like the flash from the camera may be making it look brighter or whiter that it might really be.

Is it more blue that it appears in the pic?

I haven't received the slab yet.  I got a notification yesterday that it was shipped so hopefully by Friday or Saturday.  This will probably end up just like so many other cool slabs, squirreled away or displayed on a shelf.  Since it is a one of a kind, I hate to mess it up and would rather keep it as another treasure.  But if its not as nice in person, then maybe it gets cabbed.  I'll let you guys know when I get it.
