The blue is man made, some stuff my wife picked up.
I cut them as close as possible and then grind, alot of them break. Some I can salvage into short ones but if I average one or two a slab I would be surprised.
If you want one pm me! john

Those nails are so original, and to me it's a mistery how they survive into the rotary tumbler. The green hook is also cool.
