I had a barrel hatch last night. Took pix today. Clouds tumbled across the sky the whole time so some pix were taken in full sun and some in partial. This is the only other piece of Canadian river plume that was worth tumbling. I started with about 1.5 pounds and wound up with 1.2 pounds of chips and two marginal tumbling pieces. Piece of a wonder stone type rock I got in a trade. It's grain is similar to Rhyolite wonder stone. Brazilians: South Texas wood, I've posted a few pieces of this before and this is the last piece I had: ST wood, two sides; same piece: Quartz: Zapata Brecciated Jasper, two sides; same piece: Agates: This reminded me of some sweetwater agate someone posted weeks ago, this is from Zapata: Flint: The background rock: The slab off the old rock: That's all she wrote. Ya'll have a good weekend, hug yore loved ones!

You have the coolest rocks! I love that brecciated jasper and the crazy squiggly agate right after it.

Those are all terrific (as usual for you Carlos), but that wonderstone is the shiniest I have ever seen anyone get one. Great job. Now cut more of that picture jasper and tumble em :-) Gorgeous.

Great Zapatan's and Texan's Carlos. Them Zapatan mosses rule. Land of mystery mosses for sure. Land of 10,000 mosses.

Gotta love them Carlos tumbles! Really like the Canadian River Plume. I saw a bunch at Quartzite one time but it was incredibly fractured. Your Zapatas are always my favorites too. Excellent job on the shine.....Mel

Peep, peep, peep! Nice hatch! Carlos, I can't believe the shine you get on your tumbles. The first one is the tops! Also like the brecciated jasper and mosses. They are all winners!!!

It's always nice to read your kind comments. The real work is done by the smalls in each batch. Couldn't do it without them.

The smalls must be important cause you always have the polish bang on Carlos.
