;D Hello guys .. I have already traded/sold off the two boxes with pictures but I have picked up another 50-60 lbs today because I was bored .... I found a new location nearby that has alot more of the first type solid purple with white veins of quartz running through it ... less conglomerate looking as well as more of the conglomerate type ..The new boxes I will trade and sell will be a little less in weight so it makes it through the mail and have a mixture of both types .....Say around 15 lbs or so ...Unless you just want one type ...(the solid or the conglomerate )They are all purple According to the research I have done it should take a nice shine .Heres a few webisghts that state that it takes a nice shine ..and mentions being tumbled www.dayooper.com/Puddingstones.htm www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Puddingstone_%28rock%29toadisland.tripod.com/drummond/pudmore.html The puddingstone offered here is the Paleozoic sandstone and quartz conglomerate. (((the PURPLE STUFF)))... I do not have a cabber yet though .. and I went to collect this to try and save some money to get one so I do not make any guarantees ... I am waiting for feedback on it to see how well it does .. I think it will do well and is some amazing looking stone ...Greg

Hey Greg I got my box in today. At first I didn't think much of it! But, man-- after I sliced the small piece I was in awe!!! The pics don't do justice as to how nice this stuff is! Once sliced the purple with the quartz really complement each other. This puddingstone, I would highly recommend. Thanks again.
