Rock Tumbling - Leopard Skin Jasper

[@annlove4879]

I just got my heart shaped leopard jasper pendant on 25/12/2024♥️. Very beautiful one❤

That's a beautiful batch there! The leopard skin jasper/rhyolite is so colorful and I love all of the eyes and other patterns. Opalized petrified wood is one of my favorites and it turned out amazingly. I've been checking online for a vibratory tumbler for a while and Lortone and Thumler's Tumbler were both out, said they were having trouble getting parts to make them. I'll ha e to check again. I'm so excited that you've got a vibratory tumbler again! They really do make a difference and help to produce a fantastic shine. Thanks The Dude and Wolfie!✌️🤠🤘

Besides being hard to find, the price is rising. If you are interested I found it in stock at rocktumbler dot com. Well worth the investment. Take care. ✌️

OMG they all turned out amazing looking. The Lot-O does a really nice job on the shine. Some day I will get one. I only see and hear good things about the Lot-O ! They all are so beautiful 😊

Thank you.💕

Hey there Up North Adventures, you might want to do some checking on the Lot-O, they seem to be making them really cheaply the last few years, motors burn out in months instead of years now. Michigan Rocks has a video on this issue.

​@heatherschubbyhubby I keep hesitating to buy one. They cost 300+ dollars and that is not something to pay for over and over again. THE rockshed sells rhem..anyone know where else to get a new one?

@@queenbee9505 Hi there, I just looked again, the Rock Shed is sold out of them right now, and I checked amazon and nothing there either.

[@theduderollsrocks1843]

@@queenbee9505 I think they are still in stock at rocktumbler.com

Cool material The Dude and Wolfie, those came out great! It looks like Leopard Skin comes from various places but most of it comes from Chihuahua Mexico, at least that's what "they" say. Thank you for showing us the awesome.

[@theduderollsrocks1843]

Thanks HCH. This was a cool rock to tumble. Shaped up fast and turned out nice.

[@hankfarley2514]

I did similar with leopard jasper. Just did the same mistake with picture jasper. Pretty rock, but undercuts and is meant for cabbing and the like.

[@theduderollsrocks1843]

Yeah cabbing would probably work well with this material but I'm a tumbler and they look good. Thanks for watching.

[@hankfarley2514]

@@theduderollsrocks1843 they sure do. They make great humidity tray stones though.

[@queenbee9505]

I put some in a few of my rotaries, 3 shine, the rest never did and it really wore down. It cost a bit. Won't be buying more of it.

[@theduderollsrocks1843]

They're a bit soft so they shape quickly. Took a good shine in the vibratory. I just bought some more.
