Bahia, Brazil. Bahia the state on the East Coast, just south of the "knob" that is the easternmost point of Brazil.
ADDED: Or do you mean where did I get them? I got them from The Rock Shed.

Now what do you do. The same problem that I have with some of my stones. The flat or back side is the best side and if I flatten the front to make it the back I end up super thin. I would be interested in your plan. A lot of mine end up as gravel. lol Jim

Jim,
I've managed to cut single slices out of the middle of these, but sometimes I purposely slice the end of a stone off, very carefully, such that when it comes out of my tumbler, it looks like a domed cab. Well, I call them "Natural Cabs". Some of these stones are so hard though that they shatter very easily in the saw.
