Folks,

Here is a new batch of "Ugly Tumbles". As I was sorting through the rocks, my daughter claimed to pull out and took all the pretty ones, hence the name Ugly Tumbles LOL. But, I think she left a few jewels for me.

Tiny ones - around 1/2 inch or less. There were lots of tiny ones that were used as filler.

The bigger tumbles

WOW!!! About the only "ugly" I can see is that flat silvery one. So...either your daughter doesn't know what pretty really means, OR, you had some INCREDIBLE stones in there originally 'cause the dregs are Drop-Dead-Gorgeous!!!! (...except for that flat silvery one.) ;D

Thanks for sharing such lovelies with us.

And Mother Earth spoke to me about her children and Lo! there were the rocks and minerals, the geodes and thundereggs, the crystals and agates. And I clasped them close to my heart. And Mother Earth smiled and welcomed me into her family. And I played with all the children in joy and peace forever as we all tumbled about.
