Nice batch MrMike But these are especially cool I like the band of goodness running through the matrix in these. Unusual and unique! - thumbs up!

Dang nice looking batch of rocks . Good color variety and some really cool ones in there . As for the pits and fractures , either roll them until they become slurry or accept that they are rocks . Nice bunch of self collected stuff .

Those are nice. I especially like 17 and the ones Bob picked out. Do you know what those two are?

Nice results. Was also curious about ID on #20 and 21.
On a side note, most people i show my tumbles to have no knowledge of tumbling and just take the rocks at face value. Oddly, they invariably seem to gravitate toward "flawed" stones more than the "perfect" ones. Rinds, pits and fractures sometimes add appealing character. Unless my friends are just trying to make me feel better ...

Liked the banding a lot and the trouble to cut it to make a set.. Also like the mossy. Really wide spectrum mix you did and showed lots of patience in the coarse stage.

Mike, sorry I missed this. Been AWOL a while. I like all the variety you get in your collected rocks, 20 and 21 are really cool. Still have some of yours rolling, don't know when they'll come out. keep it up!
