Chuck You can take those bigger Rio cobbles what ever they may be and saw them into thick slabs, turn them 90 degrees and clamp them together and saw tumble chunks all day. Eliminates the darn hammer and it's fractures. Lot of the moss and plume comes in 1 inch thick and 3-5 inch diameter biscuits. One gentle hammer pop in the center and you have 4 quarters to tumble. By the same token they saw out into nice 1" X 2-3-4-5 inch slabs to extract cab preforms.

Well, I can see the pressure is on..... Unlike Jack Nicholson you can handle the pressure!! Yea right, Tela under pressure to make a cab blindfolded. Sent it yesterday Tela, take your time and please don't falter from all the pressure. I looked up AKA Sci Fi/Porcelain jasper. I have found it at the Rio three trips and never could do an ID. Thanks for the ID. This conglomerate is probably Confetti(Mexican) jasper and seems closely related to Sci Fi. Some of the Sci Fi and Confetti is in the tumbler doing just what was expected of it, looking good. Patterns of brecciation off the chart. Mel say they find Sci Fi and Confetti types up his way in large (honking as he put it) cobbles.

Weird.
