These rocks all were purchased from the buy and sell section of the board. Bulk of them would be from the approximately 35# of tumbling rough I bought from drocknut . I also bought Jaspers, Moss Agate, and Petwood from her, all pretty nice. A little of the Petwood is here but most of the rest isn't sized yet. Didn't get as much saw time this year as I'd hoped. Anyway on to the pics. This group would be some of the "plainer" pieces. Still colorful and took a nice shine. IMG_4765 by Ken Vancil, on Flickr Some Montana and other Agates. IMG_4742 by Ken Vancil, on Flickr Dendrites in most. These look much better in person. IMG_4743 by Ken Vancil, on Flickr Agates of various type. IMG_4748 by Ken Vancil, on Flickr Colorful mix of Agates and Jaspers. IMG_4751 by Ken Vancil, on Flickr Petwood. Some I left a little rough so it would look like wood. IMG_4757 by Ken Vancil, on Flickr IMG_4758 by Ken Vancil, on Flickr Zoom in on my faves from previous pic. IMG_4762 by Ken Vancil, on Flickr Procrastination group. Rio Grande from Sabre52 I sliced a couple years ago but just got around to cleaning up saw nubs and tumbling. One piece from Donnie's Rocky Treasures 's Rocky Treasures maybe 4 years ago, bottom right. IMG_4754 by Ken Vancil, on Flickr Took some solo shots, one that I like the rock and pic. More here if you care to look ... flic.kr/s/aHskHb6A82IMG_4785 by Ken Vancil, on Flickr Thanks for looking and keep on rollin' them stones.

Very nice, great job. For now I'm in the same camp as you with wood. If it has some interesting "woody" characteristics I think I'd rather leave that in than to tumble it perfectly smooth. Just my personal taste.

Nice mix of rocks. There are two Montana agates near center of that picture that I like the best.

tkvancil - The 3rd & last pictures look like the dendritic agate we find here in Cedar City, UT. Any idea who you bought that stuff from? Lynn

Very nice work, Ken. They all look great.
The rock in the bottom right corner of photo #4 looks like it's filled with grass. Very neat.

Ken, I think these turned out fantastic!
I really like the round, red one in the group agate picture, lower left hand corner.

As far as I know she collects most of her own. They may be from Utah. I did collect most of the rocks I sold for tumbling rough. I have never collected in Cedar City area so none are from that area. Most of the materials are from Arizona and Montana but also probably other locations are mixed in.
