Quick slice from the rock in picture 4. Just perfect for a pendant.

When holajonathan came out for a visit a few weeks ago, we spent hours at The Rock Shed going through every bin of rocks he has there...so there's a high possibility that either Jonathan or I touched some of those rocks! LOL

Nice, I just started a 5lb batch of Bahia Agates form the Rock Shed yesterday, I can't wait to see both of them next week.

If I had had a chance at the Tootsie Rolls...and knowing they were yours...maybe! LOL That is an enormous travesty about the missing Tootsie Rolls. Do I need to send you another care package? LOL

LOL Hahaha, if it was you, they would have been replaced with a witty note or a booby trap of some kind. I searched “Bahia” on the rock shed and there was an option for a free Bahia agate, so I selected it and I believe that it may have replaced the tootsies…

Interesting! That one does have some pretty cool pattern to it...it might need some Bondo for the pits. It was free...so...I'm not complaining about it!

I find all this tootsie stuff crazy. He didn't leave me out in a shipment a week ago! They are only worth a few pennies so it's all symbolic.
In 2018 and 2019, I tumbled a whole lot of bahia agate. Didn't have a saw then, and so just kept going and going in rough grind until I got all those crevices and pits out. Let me tell you it took forever. Between 6 and 10 months for most of them. But, I fell in love with this material and have a whole bowl of flawless ones now that I refuse to use as gifts to others, considering the effort it took.
I predict you will love the results if you are patient. The color tone is so unique. They polish so well.

I did lick it, but didn't go any further than that! They were nice enough to leave some free polish in the pits as well, so win win!

I assure that I am nobody and I am happy if I can still complain about anything! I will search "free" on the rock shed site every time I order because I didn't know free rocks were an option. Are you planning on cutting any of the tumblers or just chucking them in whole?

Thanks for the tip on the free agate. Wish I had known - but I do for next time :-)
I just looked & "free" didn't bring up anything on the rockshed site, but "Bahia" got me the listing for the free rock.

Free polish in the pits! That is great! I'm on vacation all next week so the saw oil is getting dumped and the saw cleaned. I plan on cutting at least a couple of them

I usually get Tootsies and the Bahia. Accidently found the free rock while browsing tumbling material.
