Snakes and Stones

[Lord Sorril]

If I may input a request, I'd love more "pre-tumbled/polished" pics like this. It's neat to see the difference with the minerals between their natural and cleaned up states.

Yes, that is a great suggestion! Ideally that is what I would do. I would even take it so far as to show week by week progress. Unfortunately I tumble so many stones that it would be an epic task to document them all. If I have an interesting one I will still try and take some 'before and after' or in-progress photos, like this piece of banded obsidian (shown below) I took a photo/week for the first 8 weeks, then I got really busy and the stone is done now after about 7 months (rotary tumble only).








The final weight of the stone was 1.45lbs on completion and I haven't taken a snake photo yet, but, will probably be #167 in the series.
