Howdy folks, Kind of a mixed batch if irregulars here today. Trying to run a bunch of leftovers before house hunting. Here are a few pics. Thanks for looking.....Mel Entire batch:  Some Mojave Jaspers:  The long piece of Mojave jasper in this batch actually has lots of green which didn't show up. On the left is the best piece of leopardskin jasper I've ever tumbled, one of the bits I won in a contest sponsored by one of our buddies from over the pond and the others are Hornitos brecciated jasper.  Last two are plume agate, the top one from near Graveyard Point and the bottom a strange green plume from near needle Peak in south Texas.  Oops forgot a close up of some SD Bubblegun agate too:  |

Susan, Contractor quoted us almost 500K to build on the ranch with all California's crazy restrictions ( Sher won't live full time in the old farm house!). In Texas, 2/3 that cost will buy me a custom estate home on a small acreage in a very cool 3000 acre wildlife refuge development we've been looking at and I don't have to take care of anything but my yard. Been getting kinda tired of taking care of 40+ acres with 10,000 feet of fences etc. I'm just getting too old and worn out for that donkey work!....Mel

Done to sweet perfection, as usual! Those bubblegums are really neat, I've never tumbled those. And the green plume just avove them looks like the edge of a forest or a well-treed rural property, or something like that -- great tree effect.
