Nicely done. Are you using a vibe or rotary?

Clyde, It is from a small nodule of local jasper/chert (found in river gravels.)
Carlos, They were in a UV 3 Vibe. I used to do them in the 12 lb. Lortone, have to use a lot of cushioning, but it works. I really like the vibe.

I had a knapper who wanted me to tumble his creations so he could market them as jewlery. After explaining what a tumbler would do he gave up on the idea. Wish I had thought to do what you did! Great work!

Love the first one. I am working a piece that is the same mossy stuff. The glaciers must have missed some of it when it pushed south. Jim

First one is quite a looker; rest are nice too; last one can qualify as a ghost as well!
