My sister in-law shipped me a handful of rocks that she has collected from the various places she has lived. These rocks could be from New Zealand, Scotland, Maine, Oregon or Colorado. She has no idea which rocks came from which location. I told her there would be no guarantees that any of them would tumble well but all in all they did not do too bad. I filled the rest of the batch with a couple cabs and some more of Tony's dark jaspers that way I would be able to pick hers out without guessing. Here's the assortment she had all done These cabs needed to have the backs polished so I tossed them in A few hearts stowed away in the barrel too I am finally getting to the bottom of this large flat rate box of rough (started at about 40 pounds) Thanks for looking Chuck

Your sister-in-law's rocks turned out pretty good. They remind me of the mixed batches of beach rocks I do. Those dark jaspers look great too.

Nice shine! Great mix from all over, amazing most rocks are the same as far as types and colors no matter where they came from!

Nice batch, the red ones really caught my attention, & the agate heart too.

Your sister in-law should be pleased with how hers turned out. The cabs are super...
