There are 2 faced pieces, though. I love 'em. S

I love jasper, it always polishes so nicely. Looks like you'll have a ton of slabs from that stuff. Cher

Yours are very nice looking as well. What a good find. Jasper does seem to tumble faster than Agate. The slury seems to have more color to it as well.

They are full of color and interesting patterns. I love to look at the rock rough to see what I can make out in the color patterns! Nice lot of rock rough!!!

Must get more Jasper. I tumbled all the Jasper I had, now I need to get more to slab. Do you find that yourself? Or did you buy it? Trish
