Rock Tumbling Red Jasper – Process & Techniques
This is one in a series of Rock Tumbling “How-To” videos that I have been posting on YouTube. This video features me tumbling Red Jasper! Red Jasper is one of the very few stones that is a deep, brilliant Red. This is part of the Jasper family, so it takes a gorgeous, glass-like shine! Red Jasper is Mohs hardness 7, so it is very durable in the tumbler – Red Jasper is an Beginner to Intermediate level project.
Check out the video below to watch my entire process and see the final shine of this brilliant Red Jasper!
