I am still grinding away at the same ole stuff. Trying to get the tiger eye and jaspers out of the way so I can tumble something new. I toss in a handful of the Mexican agates to spice up each load a little. As mentioned before the agates are only tumbled a total of 7 days. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Thanks for looking Chuck

All of it looks great, Chuck. No specific favorite. Nice group of roy 's material, and your Tiger Eye is still going strong. You did well on the estate sale for that stuff. I wish my rough was that nice. ETA: OK, it's 1-9-19 somewhere. Sorry, couldn't resist. ETA (again): What are 4, 5, and 7?

Beautiful tumbles, Chuck, as usual! Really like those last 2 agates.

I love those Mexican agates too. I can’t get over the variety in the colors.

I wondered if it was, but I'm usually so wrong on ID, I didn't even want to guess. I've got some of that, some of Roy's stuff, and some other material that I have to spend some time to size down. I need to get out of the rut I'm in.

I like the blues in #1 and I like #7. They all look great though.

Nice job on those. Lately it seems as if there are a lot of those jaspers being posted. Did someone uncover a new stash or something?

Russ Not sure if anyone else has been posting them but I have had a handful in every batch for the last month or so. I will probably have them in the next several batches too. I bought about 20 pounds of the rough from roy when he posted it the buy now section. I think I'll end up with about 6-8 pounds of finished tumbles. They have all been tumbling since 12-4-2018. This is the picture after I reduced them to tumble size Chuck

Thanks, Chuck. The tumbles may have been yours, someone posted some cabs a week or so ago. Guess I missed Roy's deal, expect I'll probably see him this week.

Wow, are some of those landscape jaspers? So beautiful!! I always wanted some, but it's pretty much impossible to get them over here (unless you order them from overseas and pay an eye out of your head...)
