      It really is beautiful.
      Very rough, but the colours are so vibrant.
      Most of those slices in the first small barrel are from Southland /Riverton.

    I did find many of similar stones at some beaches on South Coast of NSW. They look beautiful, but I don't know how to polish them.

    Hey - I heard that using stainless strainers might scratch your rocks. Is that why you use plastic? I'm not sure if there is any truth in what I heard....

    They really are beautiful, but I can't help but see petrified meat and organs! There's even fatty tissue! I have some red Jasper that look so much like pieces of meat. It has me thinking...
