Half heated(reddish) and half not heated(yellowish).Tumbled 3 days w/out grit to remove rind.

I found those just like that Helen-'coral gravel'.I picked thru it to get what i thought were the best pieces.Am new to that gravel and am working with it to figure out what is nicest.Agood size for paper weights and that is about it.

I notice that everytime you tumble a batch of coral, you always find a pair of glasses in there mixed in... very odd.. and they never look as good as the coral either.. I guess they work better as grit carriers !! go figure!!

You ain't right Mario:>.I hope you never get old and have to wear reading glasses.If you wanna hear stupid i got it-i get out there to take pics and don't have anything to compare size so i take my glasses off only to find that i can't see the camera to take the picture.So i cheat and use the histogram graph since i can see it without glasses.And tuning that histogram has way improved my photography

These are going to look great. You know how to get them to shine real good.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
