Great to see you posting a tumble again. Those red breccia's are awesome and you must have had them rolling awhile to get them so darn smooth. I am ordering from rock shed today and now you got me thinking about some of those.

Fine batch! Love the red breccia. The first heart looks like rain falling from a thunderstorm.

Hearts? What hearts? I only see tumbled stones (beautiful by the way) and "I love you" symbols.
snuffy was right on with the rain and clouds so you can probably call it a "I love you even on a rainy day" symbol.
Good to see ya back. Jim

That a fine batch of polished stones, Bill I was enjoying trying to find all the hearts in the pile the p[inks rule but that blue lace is happening and one wonders what the green is ?

Thanks for the nice comments I haven't posted in a while because I had nothing to post The winter in Ohio seemed especially long this year I have my tumblers rolling now though The "green" heart in the pic is actually grey looking in real life I think it is the grey part of a picture jasper slab I had gotten Thanks again Bill
