Hey all,
How about we have a thread here for tumbling stones?  We have been doing some and it's great fun to see what comes out in the process. How many of you have tumblers and how have your batches been turning out? Everyone wants to hear/see.....  Here is a pic Fordtruckman sent over of he and his grandson's first batches.......Nice work guys......keep em' rollin'!  CP

Here is a freshly tumbled batch of "Sweet Water Agates".........Who can tell me where these come from and why they are named that?
