Too many numbers I like, this is an excellent batch. You running a sweatshop over there at your place? It's like a production line.
#1,2,3,6,7,8,10,11,12,13,14,15,17 and 19, if you made me pick...

Thanks, Randy. Can't keep this pace up much longer, just about out of lot-o ready rocks! Paying a lot more attention to jamesp's threads on tumble efficiency, so I can build that inventory back up faster!! The sweatshop is closed for the winter......temps are much more manageable!

Wow I'm thinking #19 is ocean jasper, but perhaps Sabre52 will have better knowledge.

The variety of rock types, colors & patterns you find in the same gravel is just amazing. Another stellar batch Jeremy. I do have 2 ?s: - in the first pic is that one of your wife's good towels? - in the individual pics are the rocks sitting on the wife's antique dining room table from her beloved Memaw? Just want some info in case you disappear from RTH.....

Stellar batch Jeremy. Jacinto rocks, (Jacinto Jeremy ?). 10 may be a plant, Mel said 200 varieties of palm in ancient Texas. Add various replacement variations, no telling what may happen. Like your woods, palms a favorite. Great show.

Could be a knot or more likely a root burl.

Fantastic stuff once again. I have a piece that looks very much like #5 that I found in the San Jacinto a couple of months ago but mine has a pretty good sized hole in it. I liked it so ran it anyway. Not sure how the final result will be. So many in this batch are really spectacular. I can't figure out how you guys are getting the wood to come out so nice. Most of mine seems to be pours and never gets that smooth glass-like shine. All of my challenges getting perfectly smooth surfaces makes me appreciate results like yours so much more.

Just want some info in case you disappear from RTH..... Thanks, MrMike! It is pretty amazing what's in the San Jacinto Gravels. I am still learning what to look for and get surprised by new finds. Like this Agate I found a couple days ago. Almost didn't keep it, because I didn't know what it was. As for the towel......There once was a man named Jim jamesp, who sent his wife's heirloom dish towel with a package of rocks. He advised many a man to pay close attention to the towels they use. Because if that advice, I always ask. Fortunately, the desk is laminate and has no family lineage. If it did, the towel story would also apply to desks. If I disapear, ot won't be because of misuse of family items......at least the ones they know about😉.

18 is bloodstone (the material with additional colors to the usual green/red is sometimes called "fancy jasper", but it's still bloodstone ) and 19 looks like a really nice piece of ocean jasper as others have said. Really nice material and tumbles you have going for you!!

Oh man did I get busted again. Was sending a small heavy part to be reconditioned. In a small box-wrapped in a dish rag. Wife takes it to post office. Asian postal worker has a fit because it was not in a SMFB. Too expense !! Too expense !! Wife says "talk to my husband". Asian worker insists on repackaging it. Asian worker builds up SFRB while wife opens my box. Discovers rag, storms home on a mission. That time she got on me bad.
Two time dish rag felon.
