I got me a lortone 3A off ebay and finished my first batch with it. I also got back from an Estate sale yesterday and found a lortone 6lb tumbler. Now I've got the 3A and 6lb tumblers both running. Most of the material is owyhee picture jasper. There are a few pieces of agate. A few of the pieces were turned into cabs by shaping them on a 40 diamond wheel, then a 360 diamond wheel. I plan on make more cabs this way since it's easier for me to do. Anyway, here is the first batch I have completed. Much shiner than the pictures show. I like the bigger slab with the white and red. Looks like to faces to me.

When I get my tumbler I'm going to tumble my Owyhee Jasper first.

One thing that helps me capture the shine in the pics is to take the pics outside, in the shade without the flash. Give it a try. Keep on posting pics, we love pics!!

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
