You pulled out "the good stuff" for this one. That Indian Jasper is really nice, so's the beauty in the last picture. Great batch and one heck of a shine!

Once again- Great job Snuffy. I could look at your tumbles all day (but then I wouldn't get much done I have had the pleasure of seeing snuffy's tumbles myself and they are great. What you don't appreciate from the photos (even though there is a quarter for reference) is how BIG some of these rocks are. It gave me rock envy. His "smalls" are the size of some of my bigger rocks from a 3# lortone. Great job once again snuffy Bill

Impressive shinning! I don’t think I have seen shine like this before. You must be using a top secret polisher! Duckhead Montana is my favorite.

Great looking batch. The multicolored one is very cool and the last one reminds me of a skull. Perfect Halloween rock!

I like the second to last multicolored rock the best. Any idea what it is?
You seem to produce more rocks than anyone else here. I have a few questions.
What do you do with all your polished rocks? Are there jars of them all over your house? Can you show us how you display them?
Where do you get so many nice rocks? I think I remember you saying you collect a lot of petrified wood, but it seems like you have too much variety to collect all those.
Do you start your rocks in a rotary before the Lot-O? Have you shared your Lot-O recipe?
Have I asked too many questions?

Have you shared your Lot-O recipe? Have I asked too many questions? Ask away! I purchased most of the rocks an older gentleman had acquired over his lifetime,he was in the rock business..Took me 2 years,all the extra cash I could spare and 2400 miles of driving to get it in 6 trips.Got over 3000 lbs all told.Many different kinds,many unidentified. My buddy Curt,texaswoodie,is the reason I was able to get it.I was fortunate. I also have purchased many flatraters from many on here that has sold rock.The pet wood is the only worthy stone I'm able to find here. I have 3 Lortone 12lbers that do the bulk of my rough.I use 60/90 grit Run an extra week after final recharge.Then I go to 1000ao in a lot-o for three days,then 3 days ao polish.I use a tablespoon of each of these,more than recommended.I very seldom burnish . I have lots of jars full,and many bagged up.Saving them for later projects if I ever get to them. snuffy
