That blue looks soft. The red jasper will prolly bleed. The agates and Jasper's will tumble good together. Not sure what the green is. Also looks like pet wood maybe?

The red stuff is Mary Ellen.

I'm kinda thinkin' that the red is more like a Lavic Jasper. I have never seen Mary Ellen brecciated like that. Maybe not Lavic, but jasper just the same. jessiegumdrop, I would leave out the rocks in photos 2, 3 and 6 and give the rest of the lot a go at tumbling together. Just keep an eye on the batch early on and remove any others that don't seem to be doing well. Experimenting in ways like this is how we all learned! So have fun. And, welcome to the forum.

Eh, what capt bob said. Jasper, agate, and chalcedony tumble best together whilst no more than 3 quarters of the tumbling barrel is full. The first stage is always the longest to remove the cracks, otherwise when the tumbles seem fully done through final polish they look banged up.
