Hi, My tumbling has been going slow, but I finally got a batch done. I got the picture jaspers from Kingsley North. I like the color and landscapes of several of those, although mostly they didn't get as shiny as I'd hoped. Here are some bahia agates that I got from a seller on eBay, plus a closeup of some of the smaller ones I really like. Here is a group of jaspers from the South Cady Mountains that I collected last Christmas. Many of these jaspers showed severe pitting and undercutting and were discarded; these are the survivors (less than half). Here is a couple of small agate pieces from Hector Road in the same area. I find most of the Hector Road material isn't very good (e.g., too cloudy), but some are really attractive, with black dendrites and orange patches/streamers. Also from the Hector Road area, a small piece with palm root eyes: Here's a small piece of morrisonite. It's a small end cut. And here are some small pieces of plasma agate trimmings. I threw them in as smalls together with the ceramics but they came out nice. Here are three small pieces of royal imperial jasper. Really love the colors and patterns. Finally, some miscellaneous agates and jaspers: Thanks for loooooooking!!!

Wow, it has been a while since I last saw Royal Imperial Jasper tumbles. They look amazing!

Great looking batch. The Royal imperials are my favorite but there are a lot of attractive rocks there. Thanks for sharing your work.

You have all kinds of goodies in this great batch. The Hector Road agates are nice, and the plasma agate is wonderful, but the Imperial Jasper is my favorite. Thanks for sharing.

I like the Bahia Agate on the right. It seems to have a little bit of everything; water-level inside fortification with some orbs/eyes on the edge, etc. Very nice!
