Now that's a beauty. You gonna polish the ends or tumble it? I cut a thin slice off each side and threw them in the tumbler. Not sure what I'll do with the rest of it. I have a feeling that the mossy areas will undercut, so I'll check it next weekend. Might have to smootg it out and throw in the vibe.

"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." 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. Our species doesn't seem to learn very well..... You were definitely a victim of circumstance, with that one! A different postal worker and that story never happens! Damn OCD postal workers!

That is the second time an Asian lady postal worker has jumped me about not using FRB's txrockhunter. Sent a load of rocks and a 12 pound Lortone barrel to rockpickerforever recently, $61. Not in a FRB. Asian gal insisted that the rocks should have gone in a MFRB and the lighter Lortone in separate box. Told me to tear it apart right there and re-box. Me said no, too lazy. Friendly argument ensued, ended in me winning "I am the customer".

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..... A good morning laugh! Thanks!

These are gorgeous!! Are they for sale?? Well, thank you! I haven't planned on selling them, just been giving them away. I'll probably set the really unique ones aside. If you want some, I can put a SFRB together if you'll pick up the freight. Jeremy

Free tumbler barrel for me, cost James almost $62 to send it to me. And he would not let me pick up the shipping! Typical (thanks, James). I'll not even go into all the cool tumbler fodder and polished stones and fossil coral condo he sent.
At least he didn't put any of the heirloom kitchen dish rags in there, lol.
