Wow really nice work and self collected you should be very proud of those. Really like the imperfections in some of them. Keep up the great work can’t wait to see what you get out of the creek next. Thank you for sharing I can’t wait to get out hound up some stones myself.

Very nice coloration in those! And an excellent shine!
I find similar stuff in central TX, but no greens. We get: Reds, greys, and lots of browns/tans, every once and a while some whites and yellows.

Great bunch of rocks with a great shine, excellent. Thanks. You got a great looking polish on those Chris! This one looks like a Morgan Hill Poppy "wannabe"! Pretty Cool!! There is a great variety in what you find here in northwest Missouri. I have always been thinking that they come from somewhere in Minnesota but yesterday I was walking on our driveway (crushed limestone) in the rain and noticed some similar brownish colored rock which is probably chert. Now I am wondering if I should grab a few pieces and see if they are hard enough to polish and if they look like the material I find in the creeks. This one really stood out to me also. Very nice coloration in those! And an excellent shine! I find similar stuff in central TX, but no greens. We get: Reds, greys, and lots of browns/tans, every once and a while some whites and yellows. Thanks. So far here, I have found the brown/tan, reds, and what I think is black jasper. I one time found a rock that had some green japser in it along with red and brown if I recall correctly.

You’ve got a nice selection of jaspers and chert there. I enjoy collecting both here in Texas and some can be spectacular. Good shaping and polish also.

Most of these brown/redish ones really polish well. The ones that are mostly red tend to be softer. Another great batch! I really like this one: Thanks. That was my favorite of the batch also.

Chris, you got a fantastic looking polish on those! Wowzer!! Thanks. I just noticed that I had two pics that were the same. Meant to do front and back of that one. So nice!! Really nice polish on those! Self-collected is so satisfying to tumble! Great job! Thanks. I agree on the self-collected stuff. Nothing like picking something up not knowing how it will turn out. And when it turns out nice it is great. Nice job bud! I like that first one with the point. It’s really cool. You did a good job on all of these! Thanks. I really liked the point and cirlce one too.

Those look great! They're made even nicer in that you found them! I love looking at a polished rock and think about how I found it someplace and saw some potential. Good job!

Very cool batch! Really nice shine! Thanks. Hopefully some of the similar ones I sent you turn out really nice also. Those look great! They're made even nicer in that you found them! I love looking at a polished rock and think about how I found it someplace and saw some potential. Good job! Thanks. Yes, polishing rocks you find is always great. You should have some rocks similar to these also in the box I sent.
