This is what I find waiting for me in two flat rate boxes. About fifteen pounds total of Brazilian, Blue, Cobra, Turitella, Crazy Lace, PetWood, and Puddingston sent to me by Rockds.  Same as above pictured wet.  Ironwood, sent to me from DesertDweller. Notice the quickly made cab. I'm going to try and make some, as well as tumble them. Hope it works.  Thank you so very much Robert and Jamie. It was quite a surprise. Condor |

Oh that's some nice stuff! Turitella is fascinating to me... and that Ironwood looks like you could just throw it on the fire!

Wow cool stuff! No way that wood looks like it's petrified but what you mean Stoner, why can't you tumble it?

Love the agates & the orbicular pieces too. The petrified Iron Wood certainly speaks for itself! Nice mix there for sure. Last |

Iron wood is real wood not petrified it is very hard and will shine up very nice.

But it being real wood means it wouldn't do well in water. You can put a mirror finish onit using 2000 sandpaper.

Nice bunch of rocks! The wood looks cool too. If you are concerned about wanting to tumble it, just leave it around for a little while, like 100 million years, and it should be good and petrified. Very pretty stuff as it is.
