this started out as pretty gnarly stuff and i can't remember how long it had been going in 60/90, but probably 6 weeks at least. it did one week in 120/220 and two weeks in 600 and 8 days in CPP.

i think mexican lace is my all time favorite rock to tumble!

thanks for looking!

Ok can we say absolutely stunning, the detail, the shine, so awesome. Oh BTW, did you take these pics outside? Is that your hair blowing in the wind that I see a reflection of. Awesome pics to KD. I think I need to go cut some more of that, it's just too beautiful!
