Hi everyone. I'm Sarah and I joined the site just a few days ago. I've already learnt TONS by reading some the brilliant and generous advice here. It's comforting to read some of the "newbie" questions, too... makes you realise you're not alone. I'm currently five weeks into my first tumble - a batch of moonstones - in my Lortone 33B. I haven't quite got enough for a final polish yet, because I'm still working the kinks out of the ones that still have little imperfections in them, but I'm looking forward to showing you my results

If that is a coffee cup you will fit right in here. Welcome from north central Wyoming, the land of nothing but rocks and sage brush. Oh yea, and Yellowstone Park. Jim

You guys are so great. Thank you ) As I in does tries!, those links are so helpful, thanks! I've already looked into going along on a couple of field trips with the club you mentioned ) @wampidy: Yes, that is a coffee cup and I do always have one stuck to my face like that. It's just not normally a take out one; my Nespresso machine is pretty much my best friend!
