This is a batch of mostly flint ridge flint. (Bought from Kelly, nursetumbler) Some rutilated quartz. (Bought from Tony, catmandewe) And some agates. (Bought from my rock shop lady friend) agates didn’t turn out as nice as I would have liked but oh well, thats how we learn. I still have some that needs cut that I will run by themselves.

Very nice job on them. I can't wait till I'm done with my practice stuff.

Yeah, except they don't jump into the vibe together. Someone must put them in there and monitor them. Hmmmm...

Great job, ashley! Yummy, shiny goodness.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Very productive. Seems like the last batch was just a week ago.
You obviously have your process dialed in.
No more guesswork or concerns about a failure helps make this hobby fun.

Rockoonz: gary95340 post on the forum in the introductions, if you ask the question there we can help you get started posting with either the cloudinary for PC or the tapatalk app for apple/android. Not sure if it's even possible to post pics in the shout-box. Dec 10, 2024 11:17:30 GMT -5

gary95340: Easy answer, go to FLICKR.COM. In the search bar enter “Jasper claim” that’s my name on that site. All photos were uploaded by me, years ago. Should be 64 photos, Helen Trumbull shows 4 photos. If you search Hornitos jasper you’ll see some jewelry I made, Dec 10, 2024 23:30:23 GMT -5
