Does this mean you won't be tumbling anymore?

Oooooo Tell, those are really nice looking, very pretty batch.
Looks like lots of agate in there and a nice shine. Get some
nice bottle, apothacary type, fill them with polished rocks
and give them as gifts. Or use them in large vases to hold
the stems of the flowers.

I like the halloween idea. I'll have to bounce it off the Mrs. Tell Family.

We have a GPS & do soem Geocaching. I do leave polished rocks for the next finder to take. Anytime someone goes with there kids, the polished rocks are the first thing to get picked up.

And there is always wiring wrapping. Too bad I am wire wrapping challenged. Need to find some nice fellow rockhound who can show me the tricks. ANYONE MOVING TO UTAH?

Tell, I know what you're saying with the wire wrapping.
Earthdog had sent me some rocks to wrap a while ago, and I'm STILL working on them.
I can tie the wires together, I can wrap it around the rock. But what I can't do is tie all the wires together and make a bail once the wires are wrapped around the rock. I've wasted so much wire just on those last 2 steps.
