Not a tumbler, but those rocks are new to me. They look hand painted! Good luck!

Pat fernwood Thanks ladies. In the past two years being on here, I have never seen anyone post pictures of these so I thought I would give them a try. Well they kicked my arse. I have had pretty good luck with many many batches of stone and got to where I thought I could polish a Dog Turd. Well I got humbled and ate a CROW MEAT SANDWICH Well they don't taste very good so I will find out why and what I am doing wrong. They have a shine kinda a dull shine like being finished in the 2nd step in the vibe in the 220 AO. If anyone has had experience with these I would like to hear about it. Thanks

I consider myself a noob, even though I've tumbled for a few years. My first thought was what cool looking stones to work with. I wonder if there is something about the material itself that is difficult, such as different composition of the more agate looking inclusions from the surrounding pink/brick colored stone. I don't know, but will keep watching to learn more too. In any case, I think it's cool to take chances on new or different materials in order to stretch our abilities. Good luck. JP

1st time seeing this one. I looked it up and get leopard jasper. Is it the same thing? If so I dont see any pictures of that being really shiny either
It may be something that doesn't shine well

Never heard of this stuff. What material is it? It Said on the Packages said India Leopard Stone, But I have googled it, and search came back India Leopard Skin. I take alot of notes, But Ill admit I need to slow down and catalog where I buy each stone etc.
