Yeah, those jaspers are so shiny, I needed my shades. I can't even get a polish like that with the 100k on the wheels. The colors are great, too.

That jasper is amazing. I’ve heard its hard to shine picture jasper. I actually found this batch to be a pretty easy tumble. No adjustments just normal mixed rock recipe was used. I bought about 20 pounds of larger rough and reduced it to tumble size with a sledge hammer just 6 weeks ago. I am picky so out of the 20 pounds of rock I think I'll end up with about 6 pounds of finished goods over the next few weeks. This was the rough right after I busted it up Chuck

I love the colors in #2. I really can’t figure out why the little red agate halves didn’t deserve close up. Maybe they are better appreciated from afar.

I just was not sure what that one is. I cut a center section out of it and tossed all the pieces into right into 120/220. Never went through stage one. Could be a laker. Chuck

As ususal, a superior batch of tumbles. The dark blue ones in #2 are my favorite, but just looking at the shine in all the pictures makes me want to run my hands through them all to feel how smooth and slippery they are!

The agates are my favorite. They're even better up close.

Chuck You have way more experience with Lakers, so you would know better than me. I was actually thinking it was one of those agates you bought at the rock shop near Midland. Those came in so:many colors, i didn’t know if red was one of them.you cut it like one of those too.
