YES! It is in the picture of my backyard rock. I have no idea what it is but I am very attached to it.

about a year ago, before i ventured into this DYI realm, i actually bought a tumbled rock that caught my eye in a health food store. not that i am a health nut, quite the contrary, but i love to poke into odd shops and nooks and crannys. anyway, they charged me almost 2 bucks for this nice little rock and it was my fav. my wee pet lucky wok.....(sandsman is getting to me)
AND THEN .......
i started making my own little lucky babies. and i love them all. the best ones get made into jewelry, i had a real problem giving away my "first born"....but i considered it beta testig on the glue and stuff....(whaaaaaaaa)
i still have the store bought one. but he isn't as special as my own ones.
did y'all notice i got my second star in here...hehehe...
i'll back off, i started feeling guilty about having ALL the stuff sent by me.......(how wude).
well you all shine on, like the moon and the stars and the sun,

My favorite used to be mook, until I saw (and bought)the parrot wing at the rock shop last weekend. I can't wait to put some in the tumbler - which I will do as soon as I get the 33b I just won on eBay.
It's softer than the rocks I have been doing, so I will do it by itself but am going to have to use something as filler. I only have about a pound and a half. May throw in some driveway rock as filler.
