Rock Tumbling ?

Rocks, Minerals, Shiny pebbles..

Always felt people were crazy for collecting rocks,

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

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 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.
From the US Constitution, Article 1, Section 8 :

The   Congress   shall have Power
To declare War,  grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To provide for calling forth the Militia  to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
