Bought from ~~BigSky~~ again, and I wasn't disappointed! I specifically asked for a SFRB with a focus on purple and multicolored jaspers and I definitely got what I asked for.. Keep in mind that I couldn't inspect all of these guys for cool features since I'm supposed to be bedridden and got yelled at for daring to limp around without my crutches to begin with   The entire lot. And some that stood out to me while I was setting them down:  Anyone else see the blue 7?   I'll update this thread once I tumble these guys! Thanks for looking.  |

Thanks!!!! I appreciate your post and kind words. I'm sorry you were scolded lol rocks get us in trouble sometimes. I came across a few pieces a couple days ago that I think you'll like. They have your name written all over them so I'm putting them in the mail this week. A token of appreciation... |

Maybe I'm seeing things too but I see the 7.
Nice tumble and listen to the DOC about resting, that's more important than rocks.

It was your fault for sending me such cool material that I couldn't wait to photograph it! And aw, thank you! I just put some of the jaspers in the tumbler, I'm excited to see how they turn out! |

Like the Jasper for instance... You can be at one location and it's loaded with blue, maroon, yellow colors then head to another bar which sometimes is a stone's throw away and the colors pink, green, gray and so on. I can't tell you how many times I've said "this is my new favorite spot"... It's not just the Jasper, the Agates, crystals, pet wood also change with each location. It's a frickn blast. |

Every corner is a different hunt! Same goes for the Willamette River here in western Oregon....Every gravel bar is different... Happy hounding! |

The #7 stone isn't jasper. Mine crumbled when broken and the pits run all the way thru.

Well here we go... As I said shotgunner... We will refund your acct and keep the 35 lbs we sent you. They tumble nicely, they're fun and the colors are super cool. Someone you know should enjoy them |

The #7 stone isn't jasper. Mine crumbled when broken and the pits run all the way thru. Honestly a good amount felt too porous/light to be jasper but I was being hopeful. I hope at least the cool striped ones tumble well.  |
