Very nice! I like them all but the long thin ones are pretty cool!

Thanks for the photos awesome looking finished stones! Amazing the difference between rough and polished. After seeing your rough chert, I'm pretty certain I have some as well and am getting excited as to what it could look like tumbled. Definitely have to source myself a tumbler in the near future...

What do you use to tumble them? I have a bunch I want to break for fossils and tumble after. Your finds are just awesome!
