What Am I Tumbling Today? 04/01/24

in this video I open up one of my rock tumblers to see what is done with the rough stage of tumbling, and what needs to run longer. I also select some new rough rocks to put in the barrel for rough tumbling. I give the ones ready to move ahead a cleanup in the ultrasonic tank. How did the petrified wood, banded iron, agate and jasper look? Watch and see... #jasper #petrifiedwood #agate #lapidary

Hi Mike, The Tepee Canyon agate was a nice surprise! That material actually comes from Hells Canyon about a mile from Tepee Canyon. I mined & collected there in the early 1980's. Some 'newer' material became available when the state highway department did some road repair work near the canyon. The outer tan material is a softer rhyolite. Great update! Thumbs up! take care, Jim

Those will be nice when done. Can't wait to see that. Looking forward to the next episode!

Mike there is a new kids toy called diamond mining. Is like a block of clay with a polished stone or possibly a diamond inside. Thanks to your channel I've been able to tell him several of the stones he has "mined" just saying at $5 a piece I should be shining up some stones too. He did get a pretty tigers eye that I like. They have rose quartz and a few other stones to find.

Looks like you have this down !

😢You want to go viral? Think have your bride video you running for the house. If your like me that could be pretty damn funny. I would rather walk and get there even if wet. You get more wet and hurt if you slip.

I'm only figuratively running. Walking fast maybe.
