I love the Noreena, currently it is my favorite rock. Number 18 is so perfect it is hard to imagine it is real.
They are all great though.

Ceramics also get lodged in spots like that and can be a pain to get out. Chuck With my recent nameplate project, I filled holes with wax from a tea candle. It kept out the ceramics. Then I put each rock on a slotted spoon and dipped it in a pot of hot water. The wax plugs floated right out. @iloverocksalotave you tried filling the holes to avoid ceramic lodging?

14, 18 and 22 for my money. Great tumbles Chuck! Did you dry tumble the Noreena? Nice shine on that.

Was going to say "good to have you back", but I haven't been around much either. Have to agree with captbob & Garage Rocker, that the Noreena is one of my favorites. Tough to shine but always love the colors & patterns. The Tiger Eye is always great, too. Always love your professional tumbles Thanks for posting!

Thanks txrockhunter. Felt good to post a batch instead of just sealing them up in their Tupperware tomb. Chuck

I have a pretty nice collection of tumbled Lakers but #18 in this batch is now one of my favorites. If I had to guess I would say that one came from toiv0. Chuck
