Just washed out a 3pd final polish barrel. These rocks are fillers for the better ones. They are from either the Arkansas River or White River gravel bars. Some of them ain't too bad for plain ol rocks.

Nice mix and finish. I can't say no to a gravel bar either!

Yep. Gravel bars are treasure troves.

I figured a lot of strange rocks would come along with the Ark River water over the course of a few thousand centuries...plumb from Colorado...Kansas..Ok..and even here in Ar. The White River (upper part near Mtn View, Ar..lower part has too much mud usually) washes out Flint, Cherts, Quartz and Onyx and catches it from side creeks too. I like to find creek beds along just where the Limestone and Sandstone rock areas are mixing together in the hills. Water levels are still to high to expose the bigger gravel bars...but summer is coming along soon.

You can't beat tumbling your own finds! You have some really nice rocks of great variety there!
