Nice colors, variety and shine. Thanks for posting the tumbles. What part of the Rio Grande did those come from?

Thank you Mario.Use 36,45,60 or 90.The 8 and 16 broke down way too fast.And 36 still may not be the best.Your 45/60 mix might be the best. Jim

It's like all the agates from the rockies washed down into one monster gravel bar.Plus everything that could possibly petrify.If only i lived in College Station Texas-that makes me envious you are so close.The bleached husk on those pebbles hide the inside.This time i will take a mower battery with a motorcycle starter motor that has a 4 inch diamond grinding wheel so i can feild grind a window into the abyss.The hammer method takes a toll.I work 200 acres that has been deep plowed on Lake Falcon.Going back soon.
