I did not find those I traded a guy on another forum some rocks from Georgia ( Coastal plain Chert ) For these stones. They were found on a river in Louisiana along with some Petrified wood that I also tumbled.

Nice stuff there. Did you tumble those? The dips and pits would have scared me but you got some nice results for sure.

I did, I did it I'm my home made rock tumbler, it will spin six 3 pound drums at once. This way I can polish six different types of stone at once.
I try al different stones sometimes good results sometimes not.

Well done. That sounds like a nice setup. It takes me a while to collect 3 pounds of material for my tumbler. I haven't tumbled for a couple years so I probably have a few batches worth of agates. That is, if I can ever get decisive enough about what to tumble.
