Hey Dave, thanks for the great walk thru. I wish I could jettison myself there to buy some of that material you are looking at. If you look up Rob at Michigan Rocks on KZitem, he is what I would call the king of tumbling. He has even won awards for his work. He will answer your questions about tumbling, and share his knowledge with you. He has several videos showing how to tumble from start to finish. Great guy. Like you 👍❤️

Kambaba Stone is ancient fossilized Sea algae, hence the swirls of green and it being nicknamed as an Ocean Jasper. But, it's not exactly an impostor. Pinolith is gorgeous as a cab cut gem in jewelry settings.

That is a great idea that he deserves more vendors absolutely have to do that it’s OK to have both finished and rough but if they’re not married other people wouldn’t know if I sold rough I would literally have cabs with a piece of rough a slab in a finished piece all next to each other so people can see the difference and I would hang the displays on the tent walls

You call the void in rock a "vug". Vugs often have druzy crystals lining them. Many agates form in vugs in basalt. I just cut open a toffee brown glass-like agate that I was going to make cabs out of -- but found it had a 1" diameter vug running through most of it -- and it is lined with light pink druzy crystals. I may make pendants out of the slices -- they look like onion rings with pink sugar granules in the center hole.

Thanks, Dave ... Rough stones: At times, I can feel their vibrations ... and some times, once they're polished, the vibration seems to lessen. I love the big slabs with just a couple of sides polished,. Some day, I'll venture to AZ ... Taos is another journey. Again, thanks.
