My latest thing is to put them in mason jars and line them all up. Steve

For being a man, I seem to have an inordinate number of glass vases and other things like that. I have several of those around the house. I take some to work and put them in a little dish for people to grab. I also have a nice little candle holder that holds rocks quite well, so I put some of the clearer ones in there to get a backlit display. Pretty soon here, once I finish my DIY "super" tumbler, I'll have plentiful supply...and then I'll have absolutely no idea what to do with 'em. Hahaha.

My Current Tumbler Setup:
(2) Lortone QT66's
(2) Lortone 33B's
(1) Lortone 3A (The beast that started it all!)

Mostly, I collect mineral specimens, so I have display cases as well as rocks displayed on every flat surface that my wife lets me get away with.

But, for my tumbles, I go to garage sales and look for the glass/crystal bowls etc. that the little old ladys put out. No telling what you can find that would have no use to you except to display rocks! It's the bi-annual neighborhood garage sale this weekend and I'll be on the hunt once again.

Here are just a few of mine on my computer desk. These are older glass ashtrays. My wife thought I was nuts when I brought a set of 12 of them home.

Dogs are unlimited lines of joyful credit with a payment that comes due all at once.
