When you said " pic heavy", you weren't kidding. That was fun scrolling through all of them. The red japers were my favs. Karock

Thanks everybody. Jack, I got tired last night, LOL. That stone is a Birdseye Rhyolite that I found near the Kofa Mountains just above Yuma in Arizona. Jo

Wow, nice tumble! It is cool that amongst them you have a 'journal of rocks' representing your travels. Bill

Toad, I do not know and I hope someone on here can tell us. I know I've tumbled some of it before. I'm certain it was "vendor crumbs" from Quartzsite. That means it's stuff I pick up off the ground that the vendors leave behind. LOL, Ralph, Mary Ann, Tony and Chris can tell you I'm always looking down while I walk around. Anything interesting I find goes in my bucket.
Stu, the green and multi-color stone (21 up) is Brenda Agate (Jasp-Ag?) from our RTH rockhounding trip 2011. Tony Catman should have some of that material and if not, let me know, I have a couple pieces left. 22up is Birdseye Rhyolite from the Kofa Mountains just north of Yuma. The Kofa Mtn Rec Area is a protected area, but if you stay just west of the power lines, you are legal to hunt.
Gray, I know, it's pretty cool, right? At first I left my tumblers behind because it was too much weight and too complicated. I was going nuts not being able to tumble them until I found this QT12 at on the Rio Grande store discount shelf (worth visiting). Tumbling on the road has been a challenge but has added a new wonderful dimension to the journey.

These look great Jo!
So, do you run your tumbler in your RV? That may be a stupid question but if you are constantly on the go is that how you can tumble?

Hi Jules! Thanks Carlo and Jack! John, yep. I unplug and put the tumbler on the floor when we roll, but as soon as we land somewhere I get it rolling again. Here is a pic of my tumbling area: I did a thread on our rig and my rolling rock setup somewhere, I'll have to look for it.
