But had a flaw that I decided to grind through. I have an eight inch kambaba
Jasper that I am hoping to get closer to 8”

Someone asked about a size comparison so here is a picture with
A 3 5/8” Sphere. One half of the diameter of the big one!

I was curious on the weight difference. So I weighted them
Small one is 1.1lb. The big one is 20.4lb
Gives you another size comparison

Very pretty!  Really gives a sense of sizes when you do a comparison picture like that.

Looks a bit like Jupiter. Cue the 2001 A Space Odyssey music.

Great colored and patterns on those spheres!  I like the mother and child photo juxtaposing the two together.

HP really needs to get their S##t together I've had a order in since August, they're great a dinging your card but the customer service is in the toilet. Don't sell it if you can't deliver I'd be out of business if treated my customers like them.
