You da man! You da man!
That is some terrific stone!!
I'm just speechless.
Those things really are a gift from God.
You brought them to life.
What a superb job job!!!
Did I mention that those are beautiful??
Man, you have this art down to a science, or visa versa.
I can't say enough good about those.
Everytime I see your work I think that you have 'peaked', then you just out do yourself with another project.
Kudos!!!

spectacular! i came racing in from work to see if you had posted yet - ok it was more like a hobble - but it was a racing hobble ;D.
can't hide any flaws with that camera. a good clear pic shows it all and all i can see is just too good! i'll have to come back and oooooh and aaaaaaaah over these for awhile. i don't even know which one to say i like best as they are all breathtaking. right now i'm kinda partial to the green and white one with the golden river running through it. it reminds me of looking in the microscope in biology lab. can't wait to see what's next!

James, what can be said?..........moment of silence :X ...... ummmm I'm freakin speachless buddy, hell, I can barely type. Those are fantastic! The rocks, the shape, the polish, the pics....a total package, a tumbling grand slam. Flat out tear inducing beauty, ( but only because I'm slightly intouch with my feminine side ;D ) I'm reaching for the box of tissues now. Gotta go, I need to be alone for a minute, later, Don

Thanks a lot guys and girls! This batch was my "wild card." Things wont be so interesting from here on out, so don't be disoppointed. ;D I do have a few more tricks up my sleeves though.  You'll just have to wait. It's really all about patience. Don't rush the stone!!! I was suprised by some of the comments.  I reall don't know what to say. Thanks again everyone. Don, if you ever need a shoulder to cry on, I'm here for you buddy.  Just kidding.  Oh, by the way. thegemshop.com has some tumbling ocean jasper for $5 a lb. I'm getting a little tired of advertising for them though. They upped the price of some agate I wanted and refused to honor the price when I came back a few days later to buy it. Other then that, they've been great. |

They look good enough to eat. seriously! (okay maybe I'm just hungry). Great job. Nature is just so varied and (to use an overworked word - and more brackets) awesome. I'm getting in touch with my masculine side here - consider yourself punched in the shoulder in that congratulatory way guys have!

Those are cool James. Lots of interesting pattern to look at as well as color. But I gotta say, when I saw the next to last 2 pics I thought to myself, "Wow, looks like somebody tried to make a crazy quilt out of pants from the '70's!" You did another great job on those! And the pic quality is great. Kinda better be for $1050 huh?

I realize this is a very old thread, but these are my favourite tumbled stone pics, and I was just scanning some old photos in this section and saw that this thread was in danger of soon scrolling away into oblivion. So I felt I had to give it a new life by putting it back on top of the list.
