Well I finally decided to post a few pictures of my recent tumble of Owyhee Jasper. I have about 10 pounds of these mini slabs that have already gone through 60/90 waiting for the final two steps. I am quite happy with the results from this batch. Matter of fact this is my second tumbled batch ever. I currently have about 45 pounds of Morrisonite in course which some of it has been there for 14 weeks hopefully I will be able to finish it by January of February.

Well here are the pics:

I was pretty amazed at what came out of the tumbler as it did not look that great going in. Jason

WTG 1RockHound,

That's a AAA+ Grade Tumble if ever I saw one! Those rocks are glorious, Thank-You! The shapes are amazing, and the patterns are top-notch, that's as fine a batch of tumbles as I've seen anywhere, really breath-taking stuff Sir! What a Job! ;D

What kind of polish did you use if you don't mind me asking? That's as rich a shine as I've seen on a Picture Jasper - I reckon that rough is super special stuff. Thanks for sharing your treasures, they are wonderful.

Cheers,

Sparkles.
