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.
"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated.
