I am looking for new ideas of rocks to order and tumble. Just a list of some of your favorite rocks would be helpful. Thank you!!

I personally like amethyst/ all forms of quartz. These are a bit harder to tumbler but look really good when properly tumbled.

I've got some amethyst, citrine, and fire quartz sitting in a pile. I've got a few coming through polish right now. I think they cracked a bit, but I think will still be nice.

definetly agates with some jasper thrown in for good measure. some of my favorite agates right now are Flor de Durazno Agate, mexican red lace and crazy lace agate, heck any agate to be honest. As for jasper i am tumbling leopard jasper right now and its looking pretty good

Fancy Jasper from the Rock Shed is my go to when I'm looking for inexpensive rough. I've gotten lots of clear stuff in the mix as well as very mossy stuff.

Mexican crazy lace is my favorite. I remember one I had as a kid that I'm still trying to come up with a replica for haha. I got some Mozambique Agate and Bahia Agate with the last tumbler I bought that I really like too. I mostly try to collect my own rocks though, but I am fortunate enough to always be around decent places for finding rocks as we are always going around the entire state of Utah/Idaho. Some of my favorite rocks are the ones I've found, it's just hard to find some really unique ones. I guess that what makes them more special though.
