there are around 350 here. They really "pop" with water. These came from very well known Tusher claim owner. He doesn't dig anymore due to his heath and sent me the rest of his unfinished limb casts. So he says.lol Would love to be the next owner of his claim. These Tushers are very hard to find and they don't really get much bigger unless you have them from old collections. Some of them show a gray color. That's the stuff they are found in. Hard digging for shure. Its like concrete.

Nice little collection you have there, pretty stuff. We don't tumble our Oregon limbcasts; polish the ends to retain the limbcast personality. Lessee, 350 pieces x 2 ends, take a day or so. Whatever you do with them, post some finished pics.

yeah the Tusher redwood limb casts are getting to be the elusive. It gets mistaken as Yellow Cat but Tusher area is less than 10 miles away from Yellow Cat. I cant tell the difference between locations. The biggest Yellow Cat specimen I have seen is 5 inches across and that size is high dollar.

I like these little guys. To think something this small survived so many years and not turned to dust is pretty crazy.

very neat stuff. Hope you can have a serious discussion with the owner about preserving his mineral legacy... that would be beyond cool...
let us see what you do with these... they are really interesting and beautiful!

for all you wondering what I may do with these. I don't know. Ive never seen anybody tumble these. One of my dino buddies was wanting to add a few of them into a hemp necklace. Kinda like what you see them hippies wearing. Problem is Im not the biggest necklace or ring wearer but his stuff is so nice.

People make necklaces out of mangrove limb casts down here. They are no where near as colorful as those.
They are often an inch or two long and thinner than a pencil, good necklace size.
