Love those things. Billy's right, those changed a bunch from slice to slice. Fun to tumble, fun to slice...I think they're underrated.

Crocus, right? Something we can't grow here, it doesn't get cold enough in the winter for the bulb. You can dig them up in the fall, and refrigerate them, but sounds like too much work to me. I've never tried it. I like easy... Yes, crazy crocus. A bunch planted to come up last year, but nothing. Then, surprise...we have two popping up now.

It's springing around here, thank goodness.

LOL. Yes, I saw something else there, but this is a family friendly post. My goodness, Beth. I don't know what you had in mind, but I just didn't want them to have to name him Adidas.

65 degrees and sunny yesterday. Too nice to be inside with the camera. Perfect day for yard work, tumbler clean outs, washing cars and grilling, though. I figured a rock tumbling group would have more patience.

Beautiful work! Just amazing. Why did you choose to photograph the last one from such a low angle? Or choose to post that one? It’s very striking and unusual. There is no method to this madness.😊 The OJ , from the low angle, appears to Have a small wave , or “swell” coming towards. The orbs are like martian lily pads floating on top. To ME ? It is a prime candidate for page 7 of the coffee table book✅ What a great choice of perspective on that OJ. Yes, your cabs are out of this world, but your photos showcase their beauty perfectly. Much attention to detail, whether the background, angle, lighting...whatever to present your work (and the material) in the best manner possible. Thanks for the show, much appreciated.

Chuck, that's an interesting experiment. Agreed, the shaping is not to my liking either, but you can't argue with the shine. I'm convinced the Lot-O can put a shine on (almost) anything.

Nobody wants to sell me hand selected stuff, they think I will cheat in the contest. I would never do such a thing!!!! Just how much are you willing to spend???

I have another theory. By the time the rocks get to the 600 SiC run they should be smoother with ground down surfaces. The 600 grit should provide a 1000 times more particles to do the cutting than the coarse grit, they may be smaller, but there are a lot more of them all working with more and better rock contact surfaces. Therefore still a lot of material removed. For a load of rougher rocks the 600 is not going to work as well, the 30 SiC or the 46/70 will be more effective. Sounds accurate Henry. There has to be a maximum scratch(pit) depth for SiC particles in a rotary with 3 to 40 pounds of Mohs 7 rock in it. Just because BB sized SiC particles are being run in a batch of Mohs 7 rocks there is no way a BB sized particle can leave a scratch(pit) but a few thousandths deep under 3 or 40 pounds. Like you said, the more particles the more micro-scratches(pits) being laid down. If the scratch(pit) is shallower than a 500 particle then a 500 grit particle is fully capable of competing with a larger SiC particle in scratching/pitting depth. I have good results with the raw SiC mix. 10 grit to about 1000 SiC all mixed in one. Most of it by weight is 20 to 100. Lots of 100 grit particles for lots of immediate cutting, 20 to 30 grit for time release soon to break down to smaller particles. Around here, THIS is known as 'the sweet science'.
