Love the batch! The Banded Chert looks like an evil eye from your first picture.

Probably due to the blurry photos. Sorry, they looked a lot clearer before I posted them. I will try to improve the quality of my photos in the future.

Gotta love pet wood! I find a lot of banded chert between Little America and McKinnon but it doesn't look quite the same as yours.

cloudinary might reduce the files size thus the quality of the images by default, so I chose to upload the pictures to flickr then link them here.

Man that is some serious crazy wood. Love it 5 months of tumbling crap i can’t even imagine. I’m glad you were dedicated to it because it sure was worth it. Great job thanks for sharing

Great looking rocks! I was a little afraid to open the post after reading the title.

You did a great job with the petrified wood! That piece of banded chert is incredible. I have tons of it that I find here in central Texas and yours is very unique with the circular bands and all… almost agate like. Did you find it yourself?

I agree, the banded Chert is outstanding.

Thanks again for the favorable comments. I found the banded chert in Bighorn Basin River Gravel. Banded chert usually puts a smile on my face. It is so unique in it's presentations.

Very pretty. I do like a collection, as in all the same types together. And I like that you tracked a volume by weight lost. I’ve never thought to do that and have always wondered how much is lost. I’ve instead just measured or remembered how big certain ones used to be. Certain materials I’m just not willing to lose much of so knowing potentially 40% could be lost is good info.👍

5 months tumble time!! Tumblers are the most patient people!
I appreciate your work.

As others have stated, the tumbles look great!! I find a lot of banded chert out here in South Dakota. I don't usually pick it up as I've been collecting more pieces for slabbing and cabbing than tumbling. However, maybe I need to start throwing those pieces in the backpack from now on!
