Second offering from my latest mixed batch. Photos not the greatest with color shift to blue. I think you'll get the idea of what we have though. All rough purchased from Feather River lapidary and Mineral Society sponsors of the world rock tumbling competition. Royal Nevada Jasper. Nice rock. Shapes quickly, Not many vugs or voids and pretty colorful ... Black Butte Jasper. Some of the gold undercuts from rock to rock. Still nice ... Tuledad Agate. Not quite like any other agate I've seen ... A slideshow link with some closer looks ... s1057.photobucket.com/user/tkvancil1/slideshow/2015%20Tumbles/Royal%20and%20BlackThanks for looking and keep on rollin' them stones.

They will throw rocks at my coral after looking at these and the Montanas. Those Montanas...

Another great batch. Tuledad agate was the rock used for the world rock tumbling contest two years ago. Never heard of it before that but it was great material to tumble.

Ken, while poking sticks at jamesp, I neglected to say what a great job you did on these. Awesome shiny!! I told James that if any rocks were thrown at him, especially the killer Montanas, he would not be able to keep a one of them. He was to round them up, stick them in a box, and send them to me!
