This is a batch I have going in my 40 pound tumbler. It is ready for a week of 600 grit. This is some of the quality candy rock rhyolite from our mine in T or C. I am thinking of posting some rhyolite tumbling boxes for sale in the buy, sell and swap area. ![](http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h83/NMONYX/DSCN9961_zpsf8d202cc.jpg) ![](http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h83/NMONYX/DSCN9962_zps60c44660.jpg) ![](http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h83/NMONYX/DSCN9963_zps74748c9a.jpg) ![](http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h83/NMONYX/DSCN9964_zpse51846c7.jpg)

Don the Killer Cab Contest debate and mental strain of understanding the understanding of the problems impact and understanding the concepts has blown my mental circuits because I understood everything you said.....Now I am worried about me a lot and you a little!!!!! I used to stress and anxiety attack over the "how much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood" debate but then I discovered lapidary and its ability to drain your bank account and fill up your credit card!!!! Now I stress and anxiety attack over normal stuff just like the rest of Americs, namely personal bankruptsy and my subsequeint estate sale!!!

If this is what it looks like going into the 600 stage, I'm looking forward to the finished product. It already looks pretty good. Keep us posted on the results!

Those have amazing colors and patterns. Looking forward to seeing what kind of shine they take when polished.

That is very pretty material. Never seen it tumbled before ut I've seen some wonderstones that are very well silicified and they tumble up great. can't wait to see your finished....Mel
