Beautiful stuff. Where do you get enough rough to keep your tumblers fed, and what do you do with all the finished rocks?

Do you know what the rock is in the last pic? It sure looks like the same colors as this one I bought in a pile of assorted stuff. Both also have a crazy random lack of pattern but pleasing to the eye. Attachments:

Very cool! That's a lot of tumblers. So, how much grit do you go through annually?

most of the stones came from the rock shed. not too sure about the last stone, but i like it as well. i have been just placing them around my pool. its best that i dont know how much money i spend on grit. The ups driver hates the grit day. try to buy in 25lbs lots, is time for me to place a order soon.

There are quite a few in that first photo that I would like to pick up, twirl around, and look at more closely. You've got a really appealing bunch there, and some that are superb.
