here is some great jasper i got from Banjo, it was almost a shame to whack this up as it would have made lovely slabs....but...my saw is only so big. these went many weeks in 60/90 in fact there are some pieces that are still tumbling, so i added some filler jade to move most of the batch up. this also spent a little over two weeks in CPP. and here are a few shots of that Moldavite i got for Xmas, first just on a plate, not very remarkable: but backlit it's a bit more interesting: thanks for looking!!

Beautiful! I gotten several boxes of jasper from Banjo. I know what you mean. I didn't have the heart to break them up as they are so beautiful as they are. So I found myself getting more from Banjo to tumble. That way I have the best of both! He has some of the best jaspers I've seen anywhere for sale and you can't beat the price! Hope you never run out of rock rough jaspers Bango!!!

Wow what a beautiful green when you hold it up to the light. That's just neat to look at. Nice shine on the jasper, I love those blue-gray on it.

KD, Love that Owyhee Jasper! That is some of the best I've seen...lots of patterns and love the coloring. The Moldavite is interesting. I like the green it shows when backlit. Thanks for the pictures Steve

is the moldavite some sort of facet type stone, like a sapphire or ruby, or does it tumble well?

Gotta love that stuff, it's even worth waiting for the pics on dial up (that's all we have up here in the mountains...)
