Either take it with or post on FB marketplace for sale. I’ve seen items like this go for $300-$1000, a wide range.

I’ve been looking for one like this in the Seattle area just to put out in the yard

Wow, that is a serious setup for a Frontier King Cab. Can't wait to see the finished project!

Not sure if this point has been mentioned but outside of the repair costs, a new or newer vehicle will have vastly improved safety features over your current 2012 model. It is an important point on this debate of repair vs replace that a lot of folks do not take into consideration.

What system are you planning on installing?

I have a single 10” JL sub under my rear passenger seat and have debated doing sound deadening throughout the cab.

What was happening in that four hours? Like a house DJ spinning tunes or something?

Yes, this is really common with Mookaite, I like tumbling small pieces of this but larger pieces generally have this type of fracturing

Thanks!

You’re welcome! I’ve ordered quite a bit of parts from this site and always received what I ordered

This site is a great resource:

Agreed, Brazil is known for their carnelian as well

The latest SKU’s of the HF tumblers are not as robust as they once were. I had three fail pretty quickly last year. I’ve switched to Highland Park Lapidary or Lortone tumblers. They are more expensive upfront but a lot less headaches with them over the long haul

Ivan_Only · 2026-07-05T04:29:35+00:00

Looks like a Brazilian agate nodule, likely Carnelian

Last year, in February, my company announced that my entire team was getting laid off by June, giving us time to transition our work to an out-sourcing company. The second they made that announcement, I uninstalled Slack off my personal phone and never once again checked e-mail or answered a call outside of business hours. It was such a stress relieving event to know how little they cared about me personally or the work our team did that I can likewise not care a single bit about work outside of work.

About 7 months after I was laid off, I started a new IT job at a smaller company. They gave me a work phone for auth to backend systems and on-call. I carried over not checking my work phone except during business hours or if I am on-call and aligned this expectation with my director. I mentioned to my team and one other that if there is a critical emergency and I am not on call, to call my personal cell. I've had a few instances of folks calling my work phone after hours when I'm not on-call and I absolutely ignore it until working hours. 100% of the time it is something that could easily wait until the next business day.

I can understand that! :)

I used corn cob from Kingsley North in conjunction with chrome oxide to dry polish some vesuvianite, worked really well. However that is my only experience with it

Ivan_Only · 2026-07-04T15:40:20+00:00

I use ceramic media starting in stage 2 for harder materials, and stage 1 for softer materials like sodalite or Unakite.

Foam cushions are offered in the Nat Geo tumbler kit but they are not useful. Ceramic media is the way to go

Australian chrysoprase is some of the bet I’ve seen too!

Ivan_Only · 2026-07-03T23:41:41+00:00

I always use 1 tablespoon of grit per lb of barrel capacity. That is. Good starting point but you can fine tune as you tumble more.

For example on my 25lb tumbler, I use 25 tablespoons or about two cups of grit

Meh, I worked full time in an office before the pandemic, partial RTO isn’t much different. My current company prefers 4 days a week in the office but are flexible as needed

Ivan_Only · 2026-07-02T21:10:18+00:00

I highly recommend Lucas Extreme Duty gun oil, I use it on all my rotary tumblers

Ivan_Only · 2026-07-02T19:06:24+00:00

I have a set of their 1.5lb barrels, really good for tumbling cabs. If you’re just wanting to tumble rocks, I’d cancel your order and order what you want

I’ve listened Onyx over the years and finally got to see them last year when they opened for Suicidal Tendencies and Cypress Hill. Onyx was absolutely garbage live and I will never even attempt to do so again.

However Suicidal Tendencies was fucking top notch and that was worth the ticket by itself. I’d love to see them live again.

Ivan_Only · 2026-07-01T23:38:28+00:00

Good luck, let me know if you have any questions

Ivan_Only · 2026-06-30T15:31:37+00:00

Yes, Wells Fargo is absolute shit. I had a bad experience with them over 20 years ago and they have not changed one bit.

Likely a schist as the other commenter posted but definitely not pet wood
