	I've been slabbing some of this awesome material lately so thought I'd get a post up. I just love this stuff. No, I didn't call it a Jasper,'cause it's really more of a chert. This link pretty much tells you all you need to know about it; http://outbackmining.com/mookaite.htm

	Hey Collin, No, I bought mine from a guy that bought it from there. I've got about 50-60 lbs left of it if you're interested in any. Are you going on the Tar Heel fieldtrip to the Carrboro quarry tomorrow morning?
