I thought of Ed mostly when this came out of a tumble batch recently. This heart blew up it didn`t just break! Attachments:![](//storage.proboards.com/1258779/thumbnailer/oYJI6cnWA6IVK1a4skHa.jpg)

Actually, it's really kinda cool looking. Is it still as it is in the picture or is it actually falling apart?

I tumbled a load of OJ and this was one of the tumbles. It never actually blew out. It just reminded me of Ed and all of his heart cabochons he makes. Some of the stuff undercut badly and broke up and this was one of them. I like it just like it is. It looks like it is totally deflated. ;D

That's not a bad model of what an actual heart looks like -- the muscle, veins, arteries and all.

Ed this is a piece of ocean jasper. I bought a few pounds of it to tumble that was already broken up. This is just how it came out of the load. I probably have more of this than any other particular rock and have found there to be a large difference in hardness which I can pretty much spot by color alone now. This one fooled me and was pretty brittle. But I do like the look it wound up with!

The perfect broken heart, an accidental creation with potential!
