Jamie is quite a generous lady and a sweetheart, maybe you can work out a deal or some sort of trade.

Hi Rocky, I just saw you're "Does anybody have...." thread in the pics section.
So confetti chrysocolla does tumble well! Wonderful!
We were excited when we first saw pictures of it here, especially when we read Jamie's list of what all was in those rocks. Then in her response to our PM about obtaining some tumbling rough, she cautioned us about tumbling it, suggesting that we start with maybe 220 and only tumble it for a short time. She said that it takes a nice polish on the wheels, but that she has never taken a batch all the way through to final polish in a tumbler (referring to her tire-tumblers, in which they do only rough tumbling because the tires are impossible to clean for different grits). So it was great to hear about bikerrandy and stefan's success tumbling this amazing stuff.
I wish I could see some pictures, too. Maybe yours?
I'm still waiting to hear back from Jamie about when she'll have more confetti chrysocolla rough available; she said that they'll go out and dig more when there are roundabout enough potential orders to pay for the trip. I like that arrangement.
So if anybody's interested, be sure to let her know.

Hi Rocky, Just wanted to let you know, I'm having another contest. I filled a jar with chrysocolla chips, who ever guesses the weight of the jar wins. Good luck!

There's a place called Dah Rock Shop in Tucson, AZ that has lots of Chryscolla; I mean a big bin full of it. You can call them and they will ship it to you. I have some tumbling as we speak! I purchased some while I was out there on business in October. Here's the phone number: 520-323-0781.
This grade held up pretty well during the first two cycles. Let me know what you all think if you decide to contact them.
