Wow lots of goodies to look at here. The rock on the right side of the last photo is my favorite.

Great tumbles Rob. great photos of great tumbles. Lots of varieties. Deserthound is a good one to trade with. looks like you rolled those well. Or should that be long

Nice shine on those. Well done. I notice the piece of Green Tree Agate .... love/hate the stuff. Love the color, hate all the pits. Your piece is really nice.

Ken, that green tree agate is from a pound of mixed rough from the Rock Shed. There were about three pieces in the pound and that's the only one that survived. The others were tumbled until they were gone. I don't plan to buy more. That one piece was nice though.

Colorful and nice tumbles, Jugglerguy! At first glance, thought the clear pair of tumbles might be some type of feldspar, possibly moonstone, but not sure. Maybe quartz?

I don't remember what the clear ones looked like before tumbling. I was surprised to see clear rocks in the finished batch. Quartz usually has cracks, but these don't. Maybe it's glass, but nothing that went in was obviously glass.

The bahia looks like some bubblegum agates I got in S. Dakota. Great tumble!

Could the clear ones be topaz? When I tumble glass with other stones they are always chipped/frosted. great polish on those. Thanks for showing.
