It is said a picture is worth a thousand words; that one is good for a volume or two. A very special "1".

I don't know the length it is but it looks as though it could be a knife scale.....Where is the other matching scale Donnie? ?? 39don

Thanks, everyone. Sometimes you just get surprises out of the tumbler. After coming out of the 120/220 grit I noticed this one was developing a shape resembling the #1 so I held my breath through the 500 & tripoli. I hate it when stuff breaks in the final stages & this one held together real well!!! Sorry, Don it's the only one, no knife scale. It would be awesome though, as a scale.

Love the patterns in that 1.
I know what you mean about stuff breaking in the final stages. Never did understand how a rock breaks in the polish after rolling for months in the other steps

Very nice, are you going to wire wrap it like you do with your cabochons?

Cool rock with a super shine. Is it just me or does it look a bit like a cat sitting up?
Ok, I'll keep taking the tablets!

I haven't decided yet what I am going to do with it. I had a couple of people who wanted to get their hands on it but I am still waiting for it to "speak" to me, so to speak! hahaha
