tonni - 

    i'm no expert on picture jasper with only a couple of hundred kilos
    of rough as well as larger cabochons i've cut & polished BUT those
    sizes defeat the purpose for using 'picture' jasper - you don't get
    a 'picture' in a 6 mm x 4 mm cab or even much of one in a 12 mm x 10
    mm cab. you'd have difficulty identifying one as biggs or deschutes,
    rocky butte or disaster peak or succor creek or palomino or wild
    horse canyon - beginning to get the 'picture' of the problem? 

good luck -

people, 'rawols day' is fast approaching - are you & your work space prepared?
