It was so cool!never got a box like that before and just ask my mail lady I get alot. I think Banjo is as addictive as rock tumbling. several types of pet wood some mustang jasper, and hickortite. tears.and plume agate. The day before She brought me a box of wonder stone and carnelian. It's been like christmas, then my tumbler died today, a moment of silents please! And guess what I've spent my allowance for awhile. Bummer!!!

Ahh Damn- *moment of silence observed* What kinda tumbler was it- I have gotten a bit handy at fixing the CE units- I'm working on a single barrel one right now- and I have a double that I fixed up (I made a mistake with the new bushings so it will only hold one barrel though) Yea Banjo's boxes are way cool- What the heck is Hickorite (sounds like a bad Southern Joke) ?

I can't tell if thats some Gneiss Schist, or that Schist is Gneiss. All I know is don't take it for Granite

Ya that's it, hickorytite. Want some more of that and the plume agate and , you know what I mean!It's a lortone 45c Stefan, the motor is kaput. Did cpr on it, took it apart and lubed the bearings and all that and it will turn a 3pounder but not the 4. Then to be really stupid I went and got some of the opalized wood. New motor will have to wait till next week. I need help, and thankfully there's no r.a. around here.

Dang duck- that stinks- Are you gonna put a new motor in? THey are pretty cheap (when compared to a new tumbler) oh and Tonya- yup Rocks Anonymous- There are 12 steps and everything but it don't really help- just puts you in contact with more rock hounds!
