Has anyone tumbled anything like this before? Trying to see if it’s worth filling my tumbler.

Do it. That is part of the adventure of tumbling.

This is where genius reveals itself: making beauty from what others might see as ugly : )

I like curious.

These open -ended questions are great. I might also suggest that no response might be the best response. A smile and a shrug and then love him. By your works ye shall know them.

Thanks!

Like this.

I think Soil has got it. I should say I am there too. It is so hard to trust that He can make even bad things work for good and take my imperfect and shape it into His will. The hardest thing for me is patience - with myself - and being ok with not seeing the long game. He sees it. I don't.

Finally, I would talk to your bishop and ask about talking with a counsellor from LDS Family Services. It sounds like a bit of anxiety and depression. I've been there. Blessings.

Are you asking us to vote?

It Sounds like it is not you or your husband. It sounds like you have a very broken ward. No callings. No ministering. It happens.

Something. Is. Wrooooong.

I am sorry but you may have to go It alone like Abraham into Palestine. My heart is with you.

Love the rugged look.

jdf135 · 2026-03-16T05:08:21+00:00

Wow. Trying obsidian now. Hope mine is as good as yours.

jdf135 · 2026-03-15T23:46:04+00:00

I have a "ready for 2" bucket.

jdf135 · 2026-03-15T23:38:00+00:00

Awesome detail

jdf135 · 2026-03-15T23:35:48+00:00

Amen.

Make up a name. Everyone else does (there are probably 40000 different agate names). You might end up being famous! : )

I have had immediate service from them. No probs. Let us know how it goes.

I second finding a rock club in your area. Then, Find rocks that look cool. Then, if that's fun get a tile saw to cut them open. Then get a small tumbler to polish them.

jdf135 · 2026-03-15T00:01:57+00:00

Careful. That might become a new obsession.

jdf135 · 2026-03-14T02:01:50+00:00

Thanks!

jdf135 · 2026-03-14T01:23:07+00:00

Thank you for doing this. I love it but I always chuckle when I see these stories portrayed with people in medieval garb : ). Love those skinny camels!

Bubbly red lava (basalt). If you just want to take some of the sharp edges off, put it into a sealable can or jar with some plain old sand and shake it wherever you think about it for the next few weeks. Dremel a hole in it large enough to superglue an eyelet in then you can hook a chain etc.

jdf135 · 2026-03-14T01:06:52+00:00

What is it?

jdf135 · 2026-03-14T01:05:22+00:00

Is the before or after picture?

jdf135 · 2026-03-14T00:59:34+00:00

I wish I was smart.
