Man, It's been a busy week for me with rocks....and I just LOVE it! ;D It seems like it's been such a long time since I've finished some of my barrels...but here's some of the latest out of my two 6lb'ers. Some Brazilains...  A few misc. pieces. Purple Burro Creek nodule from catmandewe, a few Teepee Canyon agates from Roger and a piece of wood  Holly Blue that I won off e-bay. I iwll probably try to cab a couple of these pieces. I didn't expect to have a Genie so quickly  Some Lakers and maybe a few Bots. Lakers came from kap, spiritstone and snowdog. THANKS GUYS! These are really cool up close and personal. Great parrallax in a few  an eye  and a piece of Green River Utah wood  Thanks for looking. It will be a while before I get around to posting more. As of now, I have 0 of 6 barrels rolling.    Steve |

I never thought in my short time in this hobby that i'd put a brazilian over bots, lakers and pet wood, but that round one at the middle/top of the first pic is really cool! Great tumble all the way around

Beautiful, beautiful. Smooth shapes and great shine! I'm gonna go see if I can figure out the difference between a laker and a bot.

Those are beautiful. The Holly Blue almost looks like amethyst.

Love the Green River wood - I though that stuff looked familiar. You should see the piece we drug outta there a few weeks ago....probably 200 lbs.
Great looking Brazilians too.....
Peace,
Gaetz

Timmer,
You DAWG!! I haven't even had a chance to get up that way and explore yet this year. I have to be choosy where and when I go with the gas prices. We need to see pics of it!!
