It's Monday so there is no reason to not post some beautiful rocks. The following are some that I bought from vegasjames Thanks to everyone who shared with me your personal hounds or collections! It feels really nice when I saw you talked about various types rocks and eventually got to hoard some and be able to enjoy them in person.
Some wonderstones and some Stonewall Canyon jasper:
Some more wonderstones:
Some more Stonewall Canyon jaspers:
Some more larger pieces of Stonewall Canyon Jaspers that I will cut to keep as many color bands as possible in each piece, before tumbling:
Candy Ryolite - starting to tumble some already:
Sunset jaspers:
Last but not least, a beautiful opalized petrified wood:

That candy rhyolite will take a super high polish. I have run some through the rotary for a month with only water then in the vibe for a week again with only water and it took a really nice glassy polish. Never tried tumbling it with grit and polish.

Yeah I was intrigued by the water tumble idea. Only if I had more tumblers...
pebblesky - That Wonderstone and the Candy Rhyolite look like they're going to make some killer tumbles! (Of course, I see the potential for some nice cabs out of some of those pieces! LOL)
