Here's a neat slab of Apple Valley Jasper, a fossil stromatolite showing great wavy pattern, nice golden Jasper, and awesome Hematite flowers. This one actually has quite a lot of Hematite, and should make nice cabs or a good display of brecciated stromatolites. This material represents billions of years of Earth's earliest life forms.
