Here's a couple of groove wraps I finished today. The jasper ones are Horse Cyn. I think. Very hard porcelane type  that took a nice polish. But prone to chiping when I cut the groove.The yellow (greenish) crystal is prenite? (if I recall I think that's what it was) it has a fan shaped chrystal pattern in it. Much like Charoite or seraphinite (saginite)?

The first set is really sweet.  Nice work.  Eddie and I think the material looks like Rocky Butte from Oregon's Owyhee Valley.

Nadra could be I really don't know for sure. I had seen some Horse Cyn. that I thought looked alot like it. Was just a nice piece I had in my "Heck if I know" box. I don't even remember where that box of slabs came from. Probably the sme place my 10" Frantom combo unit came from. A friend of mine that was working for a local school district at the times. Rescued them from the trash bin when they were closing all the art & shop classes. Most of the slabs have prices marked on them like the instructor had them for sale to the students.
