I know that there is some deliberation I've seen in other posts about where the material in it actually sources from, since it is a short river, but this is my last tumble of material sourced from the San Jacinto river, in Southeast Texas. Sorry, a few in here badly chipped and one bad fracture, just left them in to show the variety I find there.

I like 'em, nice job. And rocks don't always do what you want them to, do they? Thanks for sharing!

Admittedly, on that one with the huge flaw there was already a wedge knocked out of it, I only gave it a shot because it's coloration looked so extraordinary. I told people when I found it I could easily see how primitive people invented art, when finding some like it.

Cool looking stones. I sometimes find similar material up in East Texas. Love the patterns. They can be chippy in the tumbler. I've started filling my tumbler higher to 80% and it seems to cut down on the impact dings and cracks. I use Ivory soap shavings in the polish phases to help cushion them.
