Very nice! Where is your jasper from? Some of it looks like the Tabu Tabu (Africa) I tumbled a few years back.
That Lot-O is almost cheating - the rocks always come out so darn nice!

Thanks for sharing those are awesome. I would also ask where the jasper is from... Nice looking batch beyond the fantastic polish.

They've been out of stock on that brecciated jasper for quite some time. It was a favorite of mine and I've been waiting for more to arrive.

Whatsamatter, Dave, that trophy reinvigorate ya? I've never won anything before. I feel like I've got something to defend now!! I also forgot to say in my last post - GREAT BATCH. I can't believe how quickly you got these thru coarse grit in a small barrel!
