Here is one thing I can offer.. Typically every other weekend we take a trip to the eastern shore of Maryland to visit with a friend of the family who just so happens to have a farm. On this farm and seeing how the farm is only two mins away from the beach. Walking the fields and streams, I've been finding allot of Caramel Jaspers. Ranging in colors from a light brown to a dark gray and I just so happen to have about 1 lb. to trade with someone for any odd ball left over (untumbled) mix
Mind you the Caramel Jaspers range in size from about a dime or less to the largest being about the size of a half dollar.. this would be a great tumbling batch for someone wanting to tumble caramel jasper for the first time.. It doe offer a deep rich color and polishes up very nicely and yet it does look like Caramel before & afterward.
So if you'd like to sway a plastic sandwich bag size half full of caramel jasper for anything you might have.. I'm open for suggestions.
Image: Found on my friends farm just as you see it.. yet cleaned, it does already have a slightly nice smooth surface and this one was a keeper and I'll not do anything to it.
Image: Note the largest one is no longer around.. Traded that one a few years back.. but the rest are still available. As one can see, the caramel jasper typical is in the brown Caramel color, but once in a while I'd find one in the light Grey colors seen on the right above the largest stone.

What I have left would fill a sandwich bag about half way maybe slightly more and would make a great all correct hardness tumbles for those wanting to tumble this jasper for the first time. Let me know if you have something to swap and will get this process going.
