I'm still impatient! These are beginning to get some shape to them, but they're pretty well all smooth.  A little of everything. Here are a few Ocean Jasper  There are a lot of agates, some purple Jasper, lots of rocks I picked up, just odds and ends.   I hope these pictures come out O.K. I just had to go ahead and take some out so I could get started on the beautiful rocks I got from Banjo. Trish |

Trish, great looking stones there. They are going to be really nice when finished. I know it's hard, but just be patient 'cause it sure pays off when you take them out of polisn and see how beautiful they are! And you have some beauties there!

Oooo very nice Trish! Purple jasper?? Can I ask where you got it? I had no idea there was such a thing. You've got some beautiful colors there, bet you can't wait for it to finish.

Cher It's listed on Ebay all the time. I bought 30 lbs from " rocktumblingsupplies" . About 10 for the rock and $16 for delivery. It's real nice. I haven't got any out of polish yet but it's shaping up real nice and has some beautiful color. I'll be getting some out of polish in about a week. I'll post another picture. That really isn't a bad price. It was less than $100 |

Sorry, I hit the wrong key. It was less than $1.00 a lb including delivery and there are several different colors in there, but most is purple.

I have ordered from rocktumblingsupplies off e-bay more than once. Always happy with what they send.

I'll have to keep that in mind. Arkie, Maybe I'm impatient, but I think the shapes are nice. I like a natural look to the stones. Those are awesome as they are, but if you have the patience, roll on. No place to go but up!

Here's a picture of a few pieces of Purple Jasper. It's kind of speckled.  Trish |

These just came out of course. No polish yet, but I think they will polish great!

This is why I can't get anything finished! I took a real good look at my rocks today and ended putting about 80% of them back in the do over box.
