Billy has an eye for rocks with great potential. The LSA looks great. Did that undercut?

It was a difficult stone to tumble, but I like them none the less. Cool colorations with the green/white. I imagine the Linda Marie is probably a better slab/cab material than tumbling.

You did a nice job on the Linda Marie. The Tiger tail is orby. A friend said when it has orbs they call it Cheatah tail.

The Linda Marie is beautiful. I've got a few to tumble but haven't gotten around to it yet. I love that peeler LSA in the last picture

That is a really great tumble! Especially like the banded agate but all are really nice.

I bought a 5 gallon bucket a while back of tumbling size and up for a reasonable price. I am not where the rock is now but check with me late summer if you can't find any. billy

I am holding off on doing anything with the Linda I got from Billy. Want to wait until I have the proper equipment to do it justice.

Thank you, really appreciate the comments from everyone I don’t have any awesome saws to do slab/cabs so I try my best to tumble lol. I started with a 7" skilsaw tilesaw form Lowes for less than 100. Then I got progressively smaller. I have a 5 and 4" now, too. You can do a lot with a tilesaw. It's still my "big" saw. I'll probably never own one of the big boys. I have no room and close neighbors.

For that Linda Marie I used a hammer and tossed em into the lortone
