Pulled this out of a batch,a locally found conglomerate,or puddingstone.Have no idea when I found it,it was on my local rockpile. Please dont ask what happened to the rest of the batch. Closeup Just noticed,looks like a rockhound is in there. Thanks for looking snuffy

That must have been one proud Rock Cornish hen that laid that sweet egg. That's really nice.

Snuffy! I can't stand it any longer - what happened to the rest of the batch ;D..........g Well,Gary,I had pulled this one out and left the rest in polish.They were nice pieces of pet wood that were tumbled,leaving the exterior semi ground down,which is what I wanted with this batch.But I didnt plan on the lid of my Lot-o coming loose while I was gone,and the batch becoming dry tumbled in polish. snuffy

Gary, I added water and boraxed em a couple days. All the valleys and crevices in the wood had the polish grown in. Didnt hurt the smooth ones I had in it.No big loss.

Oh! and that conglomerate is really cool looking. First sight of it I couldn't tell what it was because I've never seen conglom with a clear shine before
