agatewhispererThat first Noreena knocked my socks off. All of them are outstanding. Thanks for sharing.

I just can't get over the polish you get on your noreena. Dang! Thanks! I paid more attention today with the noreena. It was definitely a dull shine coming off 3000. The difference was amazing between that and the polish which was micro alumina on leather. It didn't get as hot as the brecciated jasper got.

You're killing that Noreena. Best polish I've seen.

holajonathan I made it back to the rock shop and asked about this. They said the brecciated jasper was from Madagascar. I got another chunk but was really tough to tell how good the pattern will be. I guess that's why cutting them is so fun.

Once I cab them we can compare photos.

Interesting, looks really similar. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
