Something else for my wish list, I can't wait to see some of that tumbled.

rockds i'll send you a pm if you are interested in some.

kd i haven't slabbed it yet but it is on my list. i've cut a few pieces of the red/white jasper and some african turquoise (which looks like a dyed stone to me but still very pretty - i'll put some pics up of this one)

kd that piece is 5 lbs. i slabbed a different piece today. i think i'm going to cut some thicker slabs tomorrow and then cut them up and try them in the tumbler. looks to me like it can be cabbed but i'll have to work around the fractures to get a good preform. reminds me of the rose quartz tumbling material with all the internal fractures.
