I like it as well but i find a lot of pieces are grainy kind of like salt. Have a few more hand fulls to try out.

I just finished two small loads of ocean jasper as well. Fun material for the variety, but out took me several tries before I managed to quit getting little pits in it. Nice run!

Just saw this thread, great batch, oj is tough for me, lots of voids and inconsistent hardness, but this looks great. I'm with Randy though, I've only bought like 1-2# at a time Sent from my phone.

Killer dots and orbs.I wonder if a grout based filler would work to fill voids.There are new counter top concretes that are super performance.Look at 'concrete jewelry' on Etsy ![](http://img2.etsystatic.com/000/0/5586665/il_570xN.343565002.jpg) Some concrete i mixed,cast and rotary tumbled.I would coat the rocks after coarse grind and let them 'set'for 1-2 months.Then rotary tumble @ normal steps.Concrete is funny about hardening-in that it takes a long time.New mixes have new specs.I have never grouted voids but have seen a lot of voids filled w/grout that tumbled well.See the bubble voids,a fine grout paste can be smeared into them after polished and finished using tile grouting procedures.That is how concrete coutertops are final finished to get rid of bubbles and voids. ![](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8087/8413588927_3e408316c6_c.jpg)
