I am new to the forum. I am a few days shy of 66 and decided to try my hand at rock tumbling. I have loved picking up beautiful rocks my since i was a kid. I am excited to learn how to tumble. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what this beautiful rock orange rock is?

Looks like carnelian, which is a reddish to orangish chalcedony.

jasoninsd thank you so much. I love your quotes. My 6th grade teacher gave me a card with the following quote when I graduated high school. I have carried it with me ever since. "To laugh often and much: To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded. Emerson"

This is to have succeeded. Emerson" That's a fantastic quote!! *If you want to "tag" someone so they know you replied to something they said, put an @ symbol in front of their name. If I just put radforte66, you won't get a notification. However, if I put an @ in front of it, it turns to yellow ( radfort66) and it should notify you I tagged you about something. That way, you know they shouldn't miss your reply. - Sometimes someone's actual username is different than their screen name. If you hover your cursor over their name it will have a little popup that shows their actual username. Your screen name is the same as your username...so is mine...but there are a few people on here who have changed their screen name to be different.
