What's everyone tumbling today? What's rolling in the barrels right now? Inquiring minds want to know.

I quite honestly forgot what was in the tumbler. Been so focused on cabbing.
I still need to get my rough for the contest

Assorted native south Texas rocks. Some quartz, some Pet.wood, a lump of pink granite, and some chunk of black rock with a white layer in it that a picked up near the rails at the I-35/TX-57 intersection. In with a bunch of stuff that didn't make the cut last clean-out.

I never put rocks in my tumbler. However it does a good job of deburring and polishing silver. No clean out involved—- just rinse the detergent off and dry.

I have a "beginners mix" in the Lortone 33a. I'm sure I'll be asking for some id's once they are done.
I also have a mix of Banded Amethyst, Blue Tiger Eye, Mexican Lace Agate, Green Tree Moss Agate and Amethyst Crystals in the Harbor Freight tumbler. Only using one of the two 3lb barrels.
