African brecciated jasper in sterling silver......

Some unknown jasper with cool stuff going on....

I think this is Mozarkite.......

Orange calcite (turns yellow when polished) ;D

Porcelain jasper....

Wonder jasper from Utah (not to be confused with wonderstone) ...

Wow, Randy - I've gotten jaded seeing your constant supply of totally gorgeous wraps - but the second pic here made my jaw drop! That one is really stunning! Well, I mean, all of yours are stunning, but this one .... damn! It looks like the stone has random gold traces that match the wrap wire ... absolutely beautiful!

WOW!!! Every one of them looks really great but because it is a bit different in style, the second one really catches my eye! I love the calcite too, also maybe because it is a little different with a bold plain color!
Great job Randy!

Gee, I tried to find something wrong with any of them just because I'm always saying how great they are (which they are by the way) and don't want you to get a swelled head, but you didn't even give me anything to work with...lol.

I like the second one best.

Vey nice pattern in it. Nice wrap too.

kjk: Hey Ya'll, Just signed up to the formum. About 5 years into tumbling, have 1 - 3# & 1 - 15# rotatary and 1 TV-5. Been using voltage regulators to control speeds which has improved end results. Nov 6, 2024 21:46:04 GMT -5

kjk: My first try on Fluorite was about 5 years ago. Pre-shaped rough with dremel then used a 3 # rotary start to finish 90-220-500-TXP polish,all with ceramic fill. Nov 6, 2024 22:06:16 GMT -5

kjk: Second attempt with fluorite, 3# rotary for stages 1 thru 3 with 90-220-700 all with ceramic. Stage 4 TV-5 with 1000 and ceramic. Stage 4 TV-5 with 1200 and corn cob. Looks Gem quality and ready for final polish. Nov 6, 2024 22:11:20 GMT -5

kjk: looking for suggestions on final polish for Fluorite. Been sitting on these gems for a while because I don't want to bust them up like my first try. Have been leaning towards TV-5 with #61 Rapid Polish, ceramic, 1/2 cup water, TV-5 approx 60v (1/2 speed) Nov 6, 2024 22:21:39 GMT -5

RickB: Cheaper by the dozen? Nov 10, 2024 7:07:13 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: That had better be a good sandwich for that price, otherwise you're better off making one yourself. Nov 10, 2024 21:10:43 GMT -5

amygdule: I like my sandwich made by a talented artist that deserves a Tip...Thank You Nov 11, 2024 7:12:10 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: I make my own sandwiches and yet I never tip myself... OMG I'm the a@@hole! Nov 11, 2024 11:29:51 GMT -5

amygdule: Her sandwich taste better... Nov 11, 2024 17:07:29 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
