From the last batch, now I gotta wait awhile for more to get ground down. 90% of these are local ones I've picked up: ![](http://i.imgur.com/FxW5RRs.jpg) you can't really see in this pic but this one has all these cool little druzy bits in clear pockets: ![](http://i.imgur.com/zLfbF4W.jpg) this is a chunk of pet wood I put in with the batch it shined up nice except for the fracture right along the growth ring: ![](http://i.imgur.com/nedA1Nh.jpg) here's the chunk I sawed the pet wood off of: ![](http://i.imgur.com/1BOnGFm.jpg) jasper - sometimes it doesn't shine up, difference in material I guess ![](http://i.imgur.com/IYy5Tv5.jpg) the first bits of the red jasper/agate I've recently noticed: ![](http://i.imgur.com/rB2gkuf.jpg) some agate: ![](http://i.imgur.com/Nfp6kvj.jpg) This is my favorite from the batch, a chunk of quartz I tossed in as a lark not really expecting it to do anything: ![](http://i.imgur.com/mHYTpxc.jpg) A fist size chunk of epidosite: ![](http://i.imgur.com/5rLglza.jpg)

Very nice self-collected tumbles, timloco! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Really like the moss agate and pet wood, especially seeing your pic of your pet wood rough that it came from. That's a pretty and large tumble of epidosite!

local is always the most interesting to me. I love seeing what everybody picks up in his or her own neck of the woods. Love the color and varity here. That last epidosite is like ice... all good! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
