Hi all finished off some more agates and misc. rocks. Noticed a lot of stress cracks in the larger pieces and suspect this is due to too many big rocks and the barrel not being full enough. Lesson to be learned. this is some polka dot agate; not much blue or polka dots but nice regardless another angle Some sort of agate from Blair Rocks Another angle Some filler that I liked Couple of small slabs Lastly, I'm not sure what this is but maybe Montana? You can see the outline of the entrance to my light tent Thanks for looking. Dan

Love the blue/red/black rock on the right in the 7th picture! That said, they are all great. Thanks for sharing.

You may be a new member, but you are not new to tumbling. Nice tumble. I was going to claim that blue/red/black one, but iant beat me to it. I guess you'll have to mail it off to Scotland instead.
It's good to see the Caribou quarter for scale. A few of the US members will appreciate that we put dinner items on our coinage. Personally, I favour the nickel myself.
Cheers from the eastern ocean.

To be honest, I'm not sure what these are. A lot of my rock comes from Shawn at the Rock Shed but I have redone so many pieces, it's hard to remember what is what.

You prefer Beaver to Caribou? I hear caribou is the best meat on earth. Never tried either. Need to visit you.
