Neat stuff, Grant. Not sure I've ever seen that here before. While the patterns are a bit different, coloration is somewhat similar to Lavic out of the Mojave Desert. Good stuff and thanks for sharing.

Great looking jasper! It is one of my favorite tumbling rocks. I think the variety of colors and patterns makes jasper a close to second to agates.

Good looking rocks, they do make a nice tumble. I like the depth, not just just a flat color. Agree with aDave, some of those pieces do look like Lavic.

I trust the pros - there must be then I opened the 2 small flat rate boxes from the guy I got them from and they went straight into the tumbler Other filler I used throughout the process didn't have lavic that I know of, so it might have been included originally. I'm not rock expert just like them!

I'm not rock expert just like them! For the record, I've never seen Rattlesnake Hills Jasper, except for yours/these. Merely noting the similarities between the two. I really liked the Lavic I tumbled, when it was solid. Remember, I do not proclaim to have any knowledge of rocks, besides how to polish them.
