Those are great! I love the before and after pictures, it's really cool to see 'what lies just below the surface'. It's a whole other World under there!

Yours look great! When I was tumbling my Procelain Jaspers, I was so discouraged by the undercuts and cracks on some of the black veins...

Also one of my newer faves. Those have a nice polish given that it doesn't take a super shine. I haven't bought or worked any yet. I do have some beads. Where'd you get your rough?

Those look awesome! They look purple when they are rough!

Where'd you get your rough? From The Rock Shed. They were out of stock for a long time and I managed to snag some when they got more.

Those are very nice! I like how SciFi Jasper looks, but I also like the name! Good work!

So neat! What makes it look purple before tumbling?

waterboysh - That batch took a fantastic polish...or more to the point, you worked some absolute magic on those! They look spectacular! I've cabbed some from The Rock Shed and some polished fantastic, but other pieces only took a matte finish. Yours really do look amazing!!
