Green Jasper from Maricopa, Arizona. THey actually have a better shine than the pictures show. I really like the light green ones, they show some really nice bands of mostly clear coloring.   Thanks for looking -Dean |

Tumble Tasty!!! Mmm those look good! I'll have a plate full please!  That's a very pretty Jasper - and I love the pale translucency too, they look like they shaped up really nicely and the shine looks good from here!  I like the one with the brecciated patterning most! Was the material particularly soft? And what kind of polish did you use? Great tumble! Thanks for sharing, Cheers, Sparkles. |

Great stones!! I usually take my best pics in the shade when the sun is bright, direct sunlight always seems to dull the shine on my pics. |

Those greens are very soothing to look at! Even though you are not happy with the shine, you can still see that they do!
Great Job!

That is interesting material. Love the size of the pieces, pattern and nice shine.

Great tumble on some unusual and interesting material! That shade of green seems fairly rare. How translucent are they? What does it look like if you take a pic when holding one up to a light?

These are not too soft, about a Mohs 6. I polished in Aluminum Oxide.
