James, what great tumbles. Thanks for posting the photos and information. x2 on the PVC barrels. Gotta be careful rockhounding now-a-days. Sometimes the best spots are so isolated that is causes me pause. Lake Falcon. More border patrol than citizens. Scary ... and I thought parts of the Mojave were bad... dang ...

James, you need to send her some *white clay* if you want a chance of getting her to eat it...everybody oughta try it...once. She might get addicted to white clay Ed. It is a fine stomach relaxer. Intestinal wall polisher. And other things further downstream.

Not used to border patrols paulshiroma. No such issues over in the east. We probably have a problem with felons, especially in central Florida.

Tumbling some for txrockhunter. Lucky him, fine palms and woods. Palms-fine palms. Very nice agates and jaspers. Smorgasbord, and a bit different materials than Rio's. Seem less fractured as they may have travelled a shorter or more gentle path. Well rounded none the less. Jeremy, you are lucky to have this resource, and me to tumble them for you lol. Me a palm freak, want to heat treat some too, great candidate, palm. Bleached outer coating about gone, beauty starting to reveal itself. Glare from overcast bad. 12 pounds, few to no smalls: jamesp, I am very lucky that you are willing to tumble these and that I am blessed with the local resource!! I am really excited to learn the process and have an example of what good looks like. Thank you very much for the pictures and updates! I can send you more palm, so you can post pictures & instructions of the heating process. I am sure there are others that would love to see that thread!!!! - Jeremy

Thanks, James, but I don't think I need a stomach relaxer / intestinal wall polisher. I like prunes, lol.
When you eat things that are not food (mud pies, anyone?), they call it "pica." It is considered a disorder.
You could probably get away with it as a kid, but you really should have outgrown it by now. There's a show on one of the cable channels, "My Addiction," or something like that. Some of the stuff those people put into their mouths is disgusting!! I think the hairballs are the worst. Shudder....
Oh, and you can get worms and other parasitic critters in you by doing so. That alone is reason enough not to do it, once you are old enough to know better.
