jamespWow James! I think that picture as well as others I’ve seen of your stuff begs the question, what do you do with all your finished product?!

Most are given to kids when people are picking the fire pits I sell. Kids love tumbles. And many have more interest in rocks that adults. New age kids seem to have more interest in science. Younger parents too. Parents must be concerned about their children's technical skills in this modern world. Probably a good strategy.

dillonf I would answer your question this way: lordsorril & jamesp have some REALLY nice stuff listed above but in that nice stuff (a tumbler full) there is stuff that I just don't like (it will never be a stunner to me). I won't tumble white stuff too boring others have other opinions. So stunners are about what you like as in eye of the beholder stuff. That said if you tumble 10# or rock expect to loose about 30% in the form of mud. For tumbling your goal should be to get the best polish on what you tumble (some are easier than others) and when you can do that you have reached stunner level.

Rmf, sometimes the white is added for contrast or for use in designs and was never intended to be the exceptional piece but is part of the whole. I also have a preference for certain colors and agree that the spectrum is broad in selecting a stunning stone.
