tumbles from when I was just starting out & thought I would post a couple of my favorites.

These 2 are real small & I think I am going to cab them. I don't know what they are I just like the colors in them. The one in the first picture doesn't show it but the pinkish color is like the schiller in a feldspar (hope I got that right)

The color in this one is sort of metallic looking

I just like the shape & color of this I believe it is carnelian

This one went through the tumbles several times before I was satisfied enough to quit. Not a great pic but those 2 spots at the top are little caves with drusy in them. Just wish I had known at the time about burnishing & scrubbing them out with a toothbrush after polish but I think it's still kind of cool!

Thank for letting me share a little of my past tumbles - Donnie

I like that carnelian and that last one is pretty. Some old tumbles come with memories.
