That larger piece of pet wood you could practice breaking up with a hammer. Often the insides have agatey filling. Wear protection.
Good fun, have luck.

ohh man here I been buying boxes full all the while this garagerocker could have just sent me some free ones??? just kidding Ha!!! Imagine that, a guy in Kentucky, the land of limestone, sending tumbling material to a guy in Texas, rock hounding heaven!? Doesn't seem right, does it? richardh must have said all the right things. Truthfully, he was heading in the right direction and I knew he'd get it, he just needed some proven materials to see promising results. That sort of thing happens a lot around here. It's not coordinated, expected or even publicized, it's just the right thing to do. Whether it's materials or knowledge, they are both freely given to newcomers so they can advance in their new hobby. That's what is great about this collective membership. If you fell through the cracks and never got a 'welcome' package, let me know and I'll send you a batch of rough like Richard got.
The most embarrassing part is that your photo of the rough material looks better than mine of the finished product I really appreciate all the help from the community here. Hopefully I can pay it forward.
