I like that coral you get Donnie. It is from England i believe. The polyps are so well preserved. I think that it is rare?

And i get to be down in the lowest wettest spots where i belong. Does this have something to do with the nodes?

Nodes? Like in my brain? Or nodular forehead from tight breeding practices in the south?

James, I see what you meant in the other thread about the black being the skin and the inside translucent. That makes that black tumble even more special.

These are coral 'pebbles' Rich. I just tumble a thick layer of limestone/chert mix off. They were twice that size. But the most of them are clear or clear honey colored on the inside. You can beat those w/a 3 pound hammer till you're blue in the face and they laugh back. Here is a link to some up to almost a half pound www.flickr.com/photos/67205364@N06/sets/72157633419637002/
