If she doesn't, I will. I'll cut as many as you want - those thing are too nice robert Sure Rockds! I'll send you a bunch of tumbled beach stones & you can slab 'em & keep as many as you want (as long as I get some BACK!) ;D  |

Sandman1 It looks as if Santa gave you an early present. Your a lucky person to find an area that looks as if it were untouched. Don't forget to leave cookies & milk for SantaPete  |

It was rocks just like those that inspired the first rock tumbler maker  |

::)I got around to taking a few photos of some of the rocks that came out of this batch yesterday. Darn Christmas, gets in the way of my hobbies!  ;D I prefer not to use a size reference in my rock photos so I can keep you guys guessing how big all these things "REALLY" are.  Brecciated Red Jaspers (one of B.C.'s finest stones!)   Plenty more where that came from too! I am starting to get quite a collection of high quality stones off certain local beaches. These are likely some kind of banded orange quartzite.  This one came out super kickass shiney & deep colored! Except for the "navel" on the bottom, this baby is FLAWLESS! I'm VERY happy with how most of these rocks turned out! T.O. has made me a believer & a repeat customer for sure after this batch!  This one has a nice natural cab look to it & I call it the "alien head". The other side has a completely different pattern. This one has been spoken for BTW.  This one wants me to believe that it's Dallasite but unless it is a unique specimen, i'm not entirely convinced of that based on my other two pieces that definately ARE Dallasite.  A piece of Northern Pet Wood. (The only one i've found so far)  Carnelian? Maybe... Nice? DEFINATELY!  Another small piece of Leopardskin I rescued from the "scratch patch"...  A piece of Malachite I bought that was already "sorta" polished but I just threw in when this all this stuff went into T.O. Glad I did too! This baby came out glossy!!  Well, that's it for now kids, hope you enjoyed the eye candy! ;D Tune in again next month when the third batch of beach glass comes out of polish... |
