Got my contest prize from Shain when I arrived home from the ranch and all the material is really pretty! Can't wait to try some of the antelope jasper in the tumbler. Spectacular colors in the tumble mix. Thanks again for the contest fun and the neat prize Gemkoi.....mel

Glad your like them Mel, That Antelope is rare stuff, and man it can be hard, but polishes out like a dream. If you do any slabing to some of the better pieces, you can get cool leopard like patterns if you cut againts the flowers, when they are low, and not with them. IF the flowers are tall enough, cut the slab with them, and you get nice scenes.

Thanks for the tumbling info Shain. Maybe I'll cut up some of the pieces on the workforce saw and try what you've advised....mel
