Sorry I haven't posted anything lately. I've been lurking more lately then posting (so many here know more then me and post before I can)
So a short story. Since I've been getting deeper and deeper into rocks my wife as been looking into what she might like to do along the same things I was doing. We both took a class on making gem trees recently and she likes doing this. So do I so I'm adding this to my hobbies as well (tumbling, slabbing, cabbing and silver smithing. I know I need to post some things since I haven't in a while). Anyway I've exhausted my supply of tumbled stone chips for trees and need more. I have found the vendor (the only one in the US I've been told) but before I spend money on rocks from a total stranger I thought I'd see if anyone here had some to sell. I'd rather give money to someone in the hobby I know would be using to propagate there continued interest in the hobby.
So I need lots and lots of tumbled stone chips smaller them 7mm preferably ones between 4mm-6mm. Please let me know if you can help me. I promise to make a few posts to share some of my latest exploits this weekend if not sooner.
Thanks Tom

Tom, do you need the stones already tumbled or are you looking for chips to tumble yourself? or both? Sorry your post is clear and I'm just confusing the need, but I see on your list of hobbies that you do tumble.
I've been saving my chips and there isn't much yet but you are welcome to them. Pm me with your info if you would like them.

You can buy big bags of about 5 or 10 pounds at the local pet store as aquarium gravel. All about the size you are looking for. And they're cheap. They'd work well for your trees.
