If you are sick of Chinchilla pet wood, don't bother waiting for the pictures. As far as I'm concerned, I can't get enough of it! These are some recent tumbles and shapes out of polish. I don't usually buy rocks. I have more than enough as it is. However about 6 months ago I was at one of the few rock shops in Queensland and bought a few kilos of rough rock for $5. There was a piece of lace agate the size of 2 tennis balls. It must have cost me about $0.40. Here are some tumbles I got from it. This is a backlit pice of agate I found at Windera. I like the parallel bands. I love how this carnelian/agate stuff lights up when it is help up to the light. This is also from the farm in Windera and there is HEAPS of it lying around. Mostly small pieces. Enjoy. Have a top day. Mike

Sorry? Maybe for making us drolling!
Awesome woods, you know how to bring a perfect shine and a smooth shape on those woods! The agates are beautiful, too, especially the carnelian.

That wood is great lookin Mike. I especially like those you've done up as preforms. Really displays the wood grain and color well!. Patience pays too. You got nice rounded shapes on your tumbles before you finished them up. That made for some fine looking stones! That lace is sweet!..Mel

Beef, I've got some of your lakers and some of the Chrysocolla tumbling at the moment and in the next couple of weeks I'll get some of the jasper going too.
So many rocks, so little tumbling space.
And yet, we all just keep getting more rocks...
