Not to long ago, I did a trade with Stoner - red brazilian agate for flint. He also threw in some local rock. Haven't done anything with the Brazilian agate yet, but here's a pic of the local rock. I meant to take a pic before I started tumbling it, but forgot - DUH. They have been 10 days in 60/90 and are lookin' good. Won't be long before they are ready for 220. They are going to be beauties when finished!  Thanks, Stoner! |

Hey Llana, looks like you've got some nice looking rock in there! You're right, they really are going to produce some beauties.
I will be checking a load that I've got in 60/90 today. This is the first batch of rock in several months for me. Hope mine are looking as good as yours!

Very nice indeed! I do wish I had some local rocks like those and I know I will someday, because Ron said we had them here in Ohio, but the weather is aweful and I guess it may be spring before I can venture out for them.

I can't see them very well - are they jaspers? They look like it from here with some other things maybe. When you get finished you have to get up there closer with that camera ;D!

Hi Llana. Those are looking good. Quite a difference from what they were when you started them, huh? If ya want more, I've got about 21/2 5gal. buckets sitting here.

Kim, I'm not sure what all they are. Stoner can probably better identify them since they are his local rocks. And you know me, I identify rocks by two standards - pretty rocks and not so pretty rocks! LOL! I did take some real close ups, but they were blurry and was too lazy to retake them.
Harry, Ron has tumbled a bunch of neat rocks he has found, so I am sure when spring/summer comes that you can find lots of goodies under all that snow. I'm also pretty sure you can sweet talk Stoner out of some.
Stoner, I can't wait to see these finished. I may have you send me more so I will have something to tumble. Since our saws are outside and the weather has not been cooperative for cutting rocks, I am about out of stuff to tumble!
