Hand2mouthmining graciously directed me to "area 54", and hours of fun collecting! I'm partial to the jaspers, poppy jaspers in particular. Kris Rowe has called this variety, Panoche Paisley Poppy.

Each cab I cut is like a child to me too, therefore, that's why I only use top quality material. I have cabbed some of this Lawsonite and I don't find it to be top quality material. Having grown up in the Bay Area, I know what's available in northern Calif and there's not much that's worth cabbing. Thank you for your offer of rockhounding in your area, but I'll pass. I don't even think I know of a person named Bob M. let alone a conversation with him urging me to try collecting at Area 54. Now if you'd like to invite me to come down to Arizona or Woodward Ranch to collect some rock to cab, I'd jump on the chance to collect some quality material. In short, my objection here is the way the material is being presented to the members. A spade is a spade is a spade-call it such. I probably didn't make much of an impression on you, Ed! I'm Bob and have many, many pounds of the panoche paisley poppy, and much more would like to show you. Can't get pics to post here but posted a few at rockhoundfieldtrips and sent you a couple to your email, last week. Would luv to take you out to the area anytime you'd like. Bob

Received my bumble-bee friday. Appears 4lbs will easily fit. Have about 80lbs+ Morgan hill poppy jasper to tumble. Looking to get another larger tumbler asap!

Thanks for the info. Just ordered the 2 barrel, 2lbs per. The low price and free shipping made it much worth the try. Will post pics and review in a ? month?

For rocks with quartz veins, irregular shape, brecciated, vibrate or tumble, which would be better? Anyone used the new tumble-bee tumblers? Thanks, obviously i'm new to this hobby!
