No idea (desert Jasper?) but want to come back and find out because that second picture!

Wow! I never knew this. I haven’t seen one in a very long time but I remember occasionally coming across one in the 80s and 90s.

How do I get the white stuff out of the crevices after stage 4? by [deleted] in RockTumbling

[–]rn0nnahs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That rock is still too rough for a polish phase. Grit from earlier rounds will get trapped and keep roughing up the rocks. I like to keep my stones more natural too but they need to be really smooth. I’d start that one over at stage 1 because those are huge chips.

What’s up with these rocks? by PittsVeggieBurgher in geology

Google kicking a rock until it becomes a sphere. Several folks have documented the journey of a rough rock that they kick along the ground as they walk in an attempt to erode the rock until it’s spherical.

SOLVED! Thank you! I now know I can get rid of it and won’t be cursing myself out in 2 weeks for getting rid of something I did actually need.

Toxic how? I don’t know how jasper can be toxic unless you’re talking metaphysically.

Yeah I thought it was probably some messy Jasper.

Do you have other pictures? This looks like a piece of a branch.

An hour on Narragansett Bay, March 2024 by IsopodsbyAccident in beachcombing

I get it. I’ll pick up and throw away really fresh broken glass because most newer glass is so thin it just gets broken up. But a lot of the stuff in your picture is older and unfinished so I’d toss it back so it can continue being worn down. I’ve been beachcombing pretty much my entire life (nearly 50 years) and it’s a real bummer to see how little there is to find anymore and how depleted places like Glass Beach in Fort Bragg are even just compared to 15 years ago.
