I was wondering if these two rocks might be examples of conglomerate. Any input greatly appreciated. Thanks, Walker

I saw somewhere, can't find it now, a discussion about using oxalic to clean rocks. I have some river rocks that I would like to clean the iron off. Anyone got any tips on how to safely use this stuff? I read on one blog you shouldn't use it alone. Does my dog count? Thanks.

Can see why you ask. The last one looks like bone.

You will run a cross many rocks that have no name. If they look cool to you, then pick it up, you will never go wrong. But...if you do that too much, you will need a bigger house. Nothing wrong with that. This is excellent advice! I haven't been at this for a year and already I'm needing a larger house!

What actually happens if you attempt to tumble too soft rocks?

I live in northwest Montana and have just recently gotten interested in rockhounding. Don't know my a$$ from six bits about rocks in the wild but I love them and love hunting for them. I marvel at their beauty. The natural designs are just exquisite. Tumbling is on my to do list but I don't have a tumbler yet. Meanwhile I gather stones and paint some of the ones that have no tumbling/polishing future. Looking forward to getting clued in by what look to be some really smart dudes and dudettes.
