I just got my order of 5lb of ocean jasper, not quite happy. 3/4 of the ocean jasper was tiny tiny chips, and a few nice quarter size and up peices. not screened at all. that dosent bother me though. I can only hope the chips will still be there after coarse grind. the ocean wave agate was a pretty chunk though.

Check out my chips on the member photo section- Under the heading Ocean Chips- They hold up pretty good- BUT the are a bit PITTY- I did spend some time cleaning them out after the course- I purchased that same deal- and when I order they let me know exactly what I was getting (about 20 larger pieces and about a pound of chips) well I weighed the stuff when it came in and it was just under 6 lbs- so I figured the chips were freebies- I mean for 20 bucks You can't go wrong compared to what there 1st is ($20 a pound when I called) And I did get some real nice larger chunks that will be worth what I paid for the whole load (saw some on ebay going for $32 untumbled- no different than what I had)

I have had dealing with Rick at Rock Pick Legends. They are the closest rock shop to me (about 20 miles away).
Toy have to deal with Rick or Frank to get anything done. He home schools his children (about 10 of them) and works them in the rock shop. Too them it is a chore to help out on the shop.
If you tell Rick what happened, he will take care of the problem.
I have found that I can go on line to eith the Rock Shed or Ron's Rocks and get most things cheaper than Rock Pick Legends. Rick has matched internet prices for us in the past.
