Great selection of rocks. Nicely shaped and glassy. It don't get much better. That jasper in the last photo is really nice.

Thanks for the kind words.
Mel, Most of the primo stuff is pretty small - cutoffs from cabbing. The big Willow Creek piece looks good on the picture side only - the other side is matrix, jasper and opal. I didn't think I could salvage enough to cab - so I kept as palm stone. I really like Willow Creek, but the good stuff can be a bit pricey.
The other willow creek piece in the last pic was sort of weird, the white/lighter streak in the
middle was a bit softer than the rest and it under cut a bit.
Randy - I think I am getting the being patient stuff down. Having a Genie and a saw helps with the impatient part LOL.

I mostly tumble agates and woods, but geez, I like those jaspers. I've got to get me some and hope they come out like yours.
