Really happy how this batch turned out Thanks for a taking a gander Banded Chert Love finding stones that are shaped to go on a necklace, makes my job easy A uniquely patterned Unakite/Granite/Epidote Thought of Pat Ketchup, Mustard, and Relish (and cat hair) A brecciated beauty A Christmas elf's boot A stone I was very excited to finish, been patiently waiting for awhile. I think it's some kind of chert/flint. Really neat A closeup of that little Peach Lake Agate I found a few weeks ago. Decided only to polish it rough as it was my very first. Now you can actually see why I was so stoked! The bands in the darker area didn't show up until final polsh.

Nice job on that! Gotta love tumbling. I sure missed it over the winter. Just got everything turning yesterday! I think my favorite is the agate you found.

Very nice rocks! I’ve tumbled something like the red and green but it never really shines up.

Very nice rocks! I’ve tumbled something like the red and green but it never really shines up. Yea the green is really hit and miss from what I've found. One thing I've learned to look for is any quartz like inclusions. If they have a soft and kind of cloudy look than its almost a guarantee that the green won't turn out well.

Hello lumberlegs, nice batch of rocks there, I am particularly drawn to the unakite for some reason, probably because I can't find any where I live, or at least not that nice of a piece. And the banded chert is exemplary. Thanks for posting.

And the banded chert is exemplary. Thanks for posting. Thanks! It's pretty easy to find here, I wouldn't call it abundant though, just sticks out amongst the rest for easy pickings. I didn't collect much last year, but fiinding a lot so far this year
