ejs, CPP is a polish. sometimes affectionately called "Cheap Peoples Polish" or "Common Peoples Polish". it's available from Alpha Supply Corp. and is significantly cheaper than some of the other alumina polishes.
works for me.

I love looking at tumble (actually any rock) up close. That sure is a pretty batch of mixed "Scraps".

akansan, pic #7 has a tiny piece of Mex lace, kinda white and banded.
Bikerrandy, i believe that (#9) is a piece of Antelope Jasper.

Antelope jasper eh? Hmmmm, I gotta do some research. You know where I can score about 20 or 30 pounds of it?

Hiya KD, Well buddy those tumbles look beautiful! I really love the eclectic mix you have going on in that batch - what a bredth of variety! Many I don't recognise - but I recognise beauty when I see it and there's plenty to look at there!   Those Dendritic Agates are outstanding, I'm sorry they started to cause you problems as they thinned down, but the stones themselves are really special. What a fabulous tumble! And I must say those mysterious green stones in the 8th picture captured my attention too - some form of Serpentine maybe? Lovely tumbles whichever way! Yup - I'm very glad of my general role when I see something like this - I tend to "dispose" of the scraps in our kitchen - if you need a hand....  He he he he! Super job Buddy! Thanks for sharing the pictures! Cheers, Sparkles. |

What a great tumble. Love that green quartz, What's the transparant (mostly) agate in the second closeup. The one with the brown inclusions?

You have some great pet woods on that plate, and some brown - green rocks (pic 8). Still my favorite is the rock in pic 9.
