Very nice! I love that one right after the reds. You better start shipping some of those Rios out, you're going to get tired of batch after batch of the same thing. (Fingers crossed)

The quality of tumbles has improved over the past 6 years. Lots of new members are top players. Good to see the the other guys stuff. Good to see others entering this hobby and cranking out smoking tumbles.
Thanks for the compliments.

Great Batch, James! Love those 3 large Rio's, guarding the paper plates in the 1st pic! Great shine and the variety of colors always amazes me. Hoping to get lucky, with an invitation to spend a day hunting with you on the next trip ! The paper plates are most likely a result of your wife's negative reaction, to using her heirloom dish towel as packaging material...... At least you're still learning! - Jeremy

Gets em excited every time. Thanks. Sorry about the 2 minute photos. Not so good a job. Would like very much to hook up and hit the Rio w/you. Maybe you can read thru the patina's better. Was just outside popping some Rio cobbles for tumbling in near future. Mesmerized by colors and patterns.

Love those Rios jamesp. That red breciated one is my favorite. Looks like you got a point of impact centered on that tumble. Nicely done! Key to long marriage and hot sex life is telling lies. Gets em excited every time. Thinking about commenting on the above...

Great batch jamesp. Too many neat ones to pick a favorite. I need to start rolling some of that stuff, but I'll need to size some down. Thanks for sharing. Dave

You're too kind, jamesp, but thank you very much. You folks deserve all the credit, as I picked up all my tips from people here on the board. I just add water, rocks, and grit. Then I wait. Regards. Dave
