I haven't posted any photos for in awhile. I enjoy looking at everyone's photos, so I thought I would post some of mine. Here is some Prairie Jasper from the Rock Shed. These are pretty large so I could only put one or two at a time in my Model B. Group Shot: 1 Here is a close up: 2 Here are some bubblegum agates I got from the local rock show. Besides landscaping rock, I have probably tumbled more of these than any other rock. I love them. Here is the group: 3 Come closeups: 4 5 6 7 8 9 Here is some Serape Jasper from the Rock Shed. A harder tumble than I anticipated. 10 Single Shot: 11 Some moonstone from Gems by Mail. These are cool, but none come up flawless. Here are the best of the bunch: 12 A couple Singles: 13 14 These I believe are Mexican Agates purchased from the local rock show. I should have put a coin in there for reference. They are pretty small. There is a lot of variety but they have to tumble forever. 15 Some single shots: 16 17 18 19 20

Very pretty stones, and nice job on the tumbling. Thank you for sharing the photos. We all love a little eye candy around here!

Great material. The prairie and bubblegum agates are something I'd like to try. Yours make me think that should be sooner than later. Nice work on the tumbles.

Nice rocks all around. The prairie jasper and bubblegums are awesome. I do not think I have tried either of those yet but I really should. Moonstone is always difficult. I tumble nearly 20 pounds of those to get 1 pound of keepers.

Thanks for posting the bubblegum pics. I've always wondered what that would look like. Shawn at The Rock Shed carries that material but I've never tried any. Think I will have to now! --Phil

Very nice! I collect quite a bit of those bubblegums and prairie agates but haven't tumbled many of the bubblegums yet. I really need to. The rock shed is about an hour and forty five minutes from where I live, I'm sure most of those two things were collected locally. Great work.

Yep those prairie and bible gum agates are very nice. I am surprised that more people don't promote them the way they do other agates and jaspers.
