Greetings..I've started tumbling about a year ago and have been addicted, tumbling non-stop since. Here are some of the best pieces I've tumbled over that time. 1. Botswana agate IMG_5170 by tom tuo, on Flickr 2. Botswana IMG_5057 by tom tuo, on Flickr 3. Botswana IMG_5060 by tom tuo, on Flickr 4. Mozambique agate IMG_5101 by tom tuo, on Flickr 5. Mozambique agate IMG_5137 by tom tuo, on Flickr 6. Lake Superior IMG_5149 by tom tuo, on Flickr 7. Lake Superior IMG_5005 by tom tuo, on Flickr 8. Back of the above laker, the eyes reminds me of two alien planets. The red mist, a cosmic nebula. IMG_5004 by tom tuo, on Flickr 9. Bunch of my polished lakers.. IMG_5115 by tom tuo, on Flickr 10. Agua nueva IMG_5157 by tom tuo, on Flickr 11. Agua nueva. I took this one to a trim saw to try to remove most of the matrix. Some of the matrix was pretty deep and the final stone ended up a strange shape. Reminds me of a dog. Conveniently a round stone lodged into a cavity that opened up in the head, serving as the eye. IMG_5133 by tom tuo, on Flickr IMG_5134 by tom tuo, on Flickr 12. Agua nueva IMG_5001 by tom tuo, on Flickr 13. Montana Moss IMG_4989 by tom tuo, on Flickr 14. Laguna IMG_5000 by tom tuo, on Flickr 15. Moctezuma. No good fortification pattern but looks really cool and bubbly on the inside. IMG_4976 by tom tuo, on Flickr 16. Laguna lace IMG_5102 by tom tuo, on Flickr Thanks for looking

There's some great rock there man! Interesting to see someone else mention seeing planets and nebula in their rocks. I see that in alont of my stone. I'm working on some bahai agates that I swear look like gas giants lol

Thanks for the comments!
Rockandroll: Yeah, maybe its my childhood interest in the solar system and space? Its fun seeing things in your rocks, although some people might look at you like your crazy, haha.
James: Didn't see the burger until you mentioned it! Neat.
