I figured that with the way you wrote out your post. Just wanted to be sure. All is good. How much will it cost me to bribe / trade you for the next one? Well, if your waiting for another labradorite, you will have plenty of time to step up your game. I don't have anymore right now. His game is fine. He just needs to know when to play it!!! Truthfully though, that video had me sold from the first view. I just saw it before Dave. I think that can be a game changer for you, Tela. Especially for the tricky to photograph materials.

It was my pleasure. I got to see your tumbles in person, too. I wish I could polish a cab as nicely! You sent some really nice ones! They will beautify a house plant for my grandson. Wait a sec...he bribed you??!! That's not right. I can't compare to his work. I guess I've gotta start getting devious. You should know by now, Dave, cheaters always win.

San Jacinto's are always fun to tumble. And look at. Nice batch! Really like that big one too.

The question really is, how high was your deductible? Is it required to be high because you live in an area prone to storms or was it by choice? It sounds like you had a fair amount of damage, which isn't objective, it can be determined by estimates. If your deductible was set higher to reduce annual premium, then you will have to sustain more damage to overcome your high deductible.

Got my (wife's) pendant in the mail. Tela does truly amazing work, I know that already, but having that pendant in hand reminds me why I gave up on wire wrapping. Some people are just gifted, the rest of us are pretenders. My boys and I are excited for my wife to get her gift, we know she'll love it. Sorry, aDave, you missed the boat on this one. Thank you Tela, you really took care of me!

Love that Septarian piece, Henry. Great job on the tumbles. I have some of that Texas material and know it's not an easy tumble with all those plumes.

Good one vegasjames . Maybe MsAli will let us unleash all the blonde jokes ? Let's not, and say we did... Haha! Love it, Jean. Haven't heard that in years. It's time my kids learn that one.

It entirely depends on the voice you hear in your head when you read the words. Seriously. Try it, saying the words as a kindly professor. Now try it as a sneering, nasty person. The effect is quite different. One of the reasons I broke up with my (former)boyfriend is that if I (or any other person) made a neutral statement, he automatically assumed there was something negative in it, aimed at him personally. He did the same while driving. Any time someone cut him off in traffic, or went ahead a 4-way stop when didn't think it was their turn, he took it personally. His default setting was defensive to the point of being aggressive. Finally it didn't feel safe and I left. Lots of opportunity to hear the nasty voice in the printed word when there are no other cues to go with. Sometimes, there is no other reasonable choice. But lots of time there is, if you are willing to give the other person the benefit of the doubt. By and large, people will hear the voice they choose to hear. Beyond giving the person the benefit of the doubt, just think of them as being human. We all have a tendency to look out for ourselves. If someone cuts you off in traffic, for example, try to see it as their own selfish needs and not a personal affront to you. Your life will be much less stressful if you can separate yourself from the actions of others. Glad you realize that, lookatthat.

I also had a positive experience dealing with Paul. I got a great box of rocks, stuffed full, in a timely manner. I'd definitely do it again!

Thanks! Yup, his wife is getting it. Good on him. It wouldn't go to a better guy...well, maybe it would have it would have been me, but that's a different story. Congrats Randy Garage Rocker, good move for you. Dave Thanks, Dave, it's a sweet looking pendant. You'll have to punch my wife in the nose, if you want to take it! Although, I might keep it where I can look at it and just let her wear it from time to time. Haha!

Ann let me know if the box wasn't full and I'll send more tumble material to you I can join you in that endeavor and send some to her also. My workbench has been a huge mess for a few weeks since our Qz trip and yesterday while I was cleaning it I found the little chunk of Morgan Hill jasper I had said I put in the box. I slipped it in one of the black velvet pouches - and ended up keeping a few of those pouches aside because I flat out ran out of room when re-packing the box - anyway the MH was sitting here in it's pouch If I don't end up sending it to Ann I'll let Cody make the call on where I send it or just wait till the next box go-round. You know what they say...

You've got to tape around the sides too. Those corners are prone to splitting open.

Super shine, Chuck. I've noticed my snowflake obsidian has little cracks that are hard to get rid of.

Sure looks like it. Definitely not Cady or Lavic. Must have been a bonus. All I know is I want more of it Crazy lace is a fun tumble and a crowd favorite. It's always the first to go when people pick out tumbles.

Very effective, Tela. I must admit, I went straight to your website to see if this one was listed for sale yet. Love this piece!

Most of use use our 80 or 100 grit diamond cabbing wheels to make quick work of it. No special technique just hold the stone against the wheel till the imperfection is gone then swirl it around to try to make it look natural instead of just a bunch of flat spots. Grinding is just for small surface fractures or pits. Deep fractures either get broke into two pieces with a hammer or split along the fracture line with the trim saw. Rock shed crazy lace is worth trying although that is another rock that I do a lot of grinding on. Chuck Thank you!!! And those of us without cabbing wheels just have to tumble them longer, Ali. A tile saw can help a little. Some grinding can be done on the side of the blade, but it shortens the life. At the least, you can cut through the very bad defects.
