Thick slabs to assist hammering and/or gang cutting tumbles from. When gang cutting slabs for tumbles several sheets of newspaper is clamped between the slabs for padding and traction. Cubes and rectangles of wood/palm/organics in particular for 3-dim viewing after tumble polish.  |

Those are going to be blinding when you finish with the polish. Polishing the slabs sure beats trying to get all the flaws out of some of the rough that I have. I guess I shouldn't complain. Some was given to me or purchased at a very reasonable rate!

The yellow rooster tail almost has a lunar landscape appearance especially the right one. Near the bottom third of the stone I see a very small bright white sun as seen while standing on a moon. Must be having a Star trek moment I guess lol but they will all be pretty as hell when they are complete.
