Howdy folks, Newest batch out is kind of a mixed bag. Still processing lots of South Dakota Bubblegum Agate but they take forever in the coarse grind so only a few come out at a time. They're rapidly becoming a favorite with me though as they take an outrageous shine. Anyway, here are a few pics. Thanks for lookin....Mel The bubblegummers: The bubblegum bug: Some of Kimmie's (Rockyraccoon) Rainbow and golden jasper from Africa. This material grinds easily and takes a fantastic shine. Really nice stuff! Finally, the rest of the mixed bag, Lakers, Ohio Flint, Green Moss, Turritella, Dumortierite in quartz and a little poppy stuff:

Gorgeous mixed batch.
I like bubblegums too. I have some rolling round in a mixed batch too. The darn things DO take forever in the rough grind but it's worth it in the end.
Love the stuff from Africa. Great colors.

I'm not much of a gum chewer, but for bubblegum agates I will make an exception. Extremely nice.
