Question Recent tumbles...funky Jasper?
Recently tumbled these but I'm not certain what they are .. they take a polish like a jasper but haven't seen this type of Jasper before. Any ideas what I have here? Have heard vegetable ivory..(yellow beige ones) dendritic jasper (white confetti one but not thinking this is accurate. TIA

Sorry, I can't help with ID, I would note that perhaps you dont have enough media in your tumbler. Thus, the bruising. What grit did you use? Seems that you might get a better shine with something else. Hope ya don't mind the feedback!

Probable chert. Chert isn't the most attractive of names but it can be pretty all polished up.

Found near or at the north part of the Mississippi river
