It did give me a chance to copy them to my hard drive this time. Thanks

WOW, James! I can't think of any descriptive words that haven't already been used to describe your amazing work. What you did with those stones is completely awe inspiring! Thanks for showing them to us!

What kind of camera did you get?

James I've done a lot of tumbling and thought i'd seen it all but your choice of material and patience in your work are beyond words!!

These rocks are by far the prettiest and most well done tumbled rocks there is on the planet!!

Without joking a single bit if I were you I would offer a few of them to the Smithsonian Institute and I am sure they would except them!!

From a long time "tumbler",,,,,,,,,,,,

OMG James, those are just BEAUTIFUL beyond belief! Please tell me where you purchased them for your tumbler. Can you also share with me about the process, from start to finish? Thanks so much for all the friendly and helpful info on this site too!

Hey I'm glad this one got up here again- I got those OJ chips in prepolish right now and I was thinking about how to procede with my next batch (all Ocean Jasper) Has anyone tumbled the grren ones that are kinda drusy? What I'm shooting for is to remove the crystal points and round off the edges- so I end up ith a kinda BUMPY texture- I realize the grit comtamination problems but I'm willing to work the dremel into the real bad spots.

I can't tell if thats some Gneiss Schist, or that Schist is Gneiss. All I know is don't take it for Granite
