I picked out probably 10-12 lbs. of these tumbles when the rock shop here was moving. I dug through a 55 gal. drum picking out the ones I wanted as I went. There is still lots of it left. Last weekend we took my brother and his wife there and I saw some very large rough pieces that were beautiful! I may have to go back for one of them! I have more OJ than any other material in my garage/shop. It can be problematic when tumbling and cabbing if it is not high enough in silica content though. These were all pretty solid and I had agate pieces and slices mixed in with this load. But undercutting did not seem to be a problem this time. I guess I need to go load 2 more barrels and crank it back up again!
