Title: Rock Tumbling ?
Post by: tp4tissue on Sat, 22 September 2018, 08:09:47

Rocks, Minerals, Shiny pebbles..

Always felt people were crazy for collecting rocks,

But the Older Tp4 gets,  the more the idea has become appealing..

Gekha Thoughts ?

The colourful spiky ones look good especially if they're growing out of or inside a rock but I've never seen the attraction to smooth ones.  I've looked at the big skulls on skullis (https://www.skullis.com/) occasionally for years but never actually bought anything.

Boulder Opals are beautiful; thought about maybe getting one just for the hell of it. Don't think I can sustain another collection hobby though.

When the kids were little we got a small cheap-o tumbler and it was pretty worthless. I guess you get what you pay for.

Tumbled rocks can be very cool.
