Yep. The tumble cabs will get glue-on bails and go into my box of "Cheapo Pendants". I've been getting low and needed some color in the assortment. I expect I'll be playing with epoxy for a while. Thanks! Jo

Cool!! Hey, looks like you may have the answers to something that I've been thinking about.....how well did the Noreena jasper do? Did much of the stones mass disappear or did it hold up good? Those all look great

Thanks y'all.
Randy, Yeah, being a sedimentary rock (mud) they did loose mass faster than quartz. It seems like the reds were harder and even took a polish. So, if you are gonna do them for tumble pendants, I would suggest cutting them a little bigger than you normally would and test them out. Jo

Great job on that batch. Too much variety to pick a favorite but I am a sucker for reds so the petstore red jasper really caught my eye.

What a pleasure to see the great variety in your tumble cabs. I continue to enjoy the rough you so generously shared with me. Hope our paths cross again.
