My friend, Woody, and his wife, Kathy, met Dale Hewitt at the Amethyst sage pit and bought some interesting material from him.  Dale said the pink/salmon color is what a lot of the people are looking for nowadays.  Woody gave me a slab from the site and this is what I made from it. It is 3" wide.  This material has a few calcite spots in it and is generally softer than the other amethyst sage, but the colors are striking for material from this site. I thought the other side of the slab was nicer, but it didn't have the horse in it. 
 

See the horse (if you're into caveman drawings)?  It's a buckskin.  The buckskin color is better when seen in person.

Thanks for looking!
