Very nice indeed! Those came out great. The shapes are perfect too. Don't say I didn't warn you about that Spiderman Jasper. They should call it "Spiderman rock.' The stuff doesn't like to shine. Try running it in 1000 grit then go to polish.

What is life, without rocks?

The titanium didn't work as well. It think cerium would be fine, just use the 1000 first. I think it ill do the trick. Maybe...

Alright John! Great job on the Mookaite. Very nice ;D . I like the jasper too, neat stuff. This summer I'll be traveling to different knap-ins, I'll try to pick up some decent mook at a reasonable price and offer some for sale on the board here if I can. I won't rake anyone through the coals either

hehe. Again great job John, later, Don

Excellent John-
Nice Job, thats great looking stuff there.
Those are some nice shapes, how long you run them in the 60/90?
You cut any of those or are they just busted off the rock?
You sure did good on those.
Keep up the good work John, with all the stuff you got now, you should be popping out a new bunch almost every week Eh? ;D
