Middle Age is starting to tell on me. I can't find a particular stone I am looking for and on top of that can't recall its name, so I can't even look it up. Can someone remind me of the name for the yellow and brown stone some people incorrectly referred to as Chinese writing stone or yellow line jasper? It is like lots of bright mustard yellow lines or crinoid looking curves, sort of like writing, covering a dark brown or maroonish matrix. It's very busy looking and undercuts like crazy. I think the name started with a "C," and now for the life of me, I can't recall the name. It's driving me mad. Please help!

No problem, it happens to the best of us.
BTW - did you get a chance to put that flat rate box of free morrisonite in the mail for me? Remember we talked about it last week? :P
I jest,
