The first wrap in a while. I am going to get back into wrapping and show Debby how, Jo (Naturenut) and Diane (drocknut) tried. This a piece of Gimlet Creek Jasper made in to a heart. I decided to do a single wire wrap on the stone. I tried to cover up the crack. It goes to a small neighbor 9 year old girl, Delaney. Her family just had a house fire and almost lost every thing. We are trying to help them with what we can. Delaney made it down to our house all Summer to look at rocks with me when we returned form trips. Hope she likes it. Hope everyone has a great Holiday Season with a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Tom and Debby

First day I take the barrels off the tumbler and rotate them end to end a few times to make sure the grit is through the whole barrel, then again on the third day. Also use only 3tbsp. Tom

I like Montana Agate. Although it is a very long drive for me. Montana has a lot of other agate, some close. Tom
