I had not run the vibe tumbler for awhile but I finally got it going for a run of mostly local rocks I found here in northern CO and one from Utah. Northern CO Agate, this is typical, a dirty butterscotch kind of color and some cool dentrites and plumy inclusions: some wood: quartz: an agate I found in Utah. I tumbled this mainly to get the rind off and see where the cracks were I was kinda thinking about cabbing it. The clear bits have these cool little druzy flashes: And last but not least, aquarium gravel. This stuff is pretty nice all polished up:

Crazy Tim (timloco)? Fun stuff there. Where do you find NOCO agates if you don't mind? Living in Greeley we find petwood and a lot of quartzie stuff walking around (dang dangling modifier...I have never seen walking quartz...never hope to, either). Nice stuff.

Right north of you pretty much, the Pawnee grasslands.

Well alright then. All I ever find out there is petwood. Have to keep my nose a bit more down. Gracias Timoteo.
