Beach Stone.

Pretty markings and colours :o)

I agree with Terratoonie

Very pretty. Years ago I used to tumble stones I found on the beach. It would work beautifully on this one :)

Very pretty, my son has a tumbling machine and the end results ares beautiful!

Wow this is a real treasure gem

Thanks everyone...... what does Tumbling mean gee19..... is it a sort of polish....

Agree its very pretty.

It's a small machine (electric) in which you can put small stones/pebbles and they tumble with some sort of abrasive material (if I remember rightly!) and it makes them smooth and glossy. Then they can be used for decoration :)
PP may know more about than me - it is over 20 years since I last had the tumbler.

what a good idea...never heard of it before.......

I've just checked the equipment out on Ebay, Holly, much more expensive than I remember :(

They are expensive and you need to leave it running for around a week to get results, glad its not my electric bill Lol

Thanks Gee19..... will have to have a look it sounds intersting..... thats a long time pp...... do you have to have it on all the time then.....

I used to have mine in the garage, Holly, as it is rather noisy! If I remember correctly you use coarse abrasive material for the first few days and then a finer grade until you get the finish you want. The longer it runs the smoother the finish :)

Holly my son used to have it running all the time, its a good job it was in the garden shed it is like Gee says very noisy!

looked it up on ebay.... expensive machine.. but its interesting as ive never heard of them before... Thanks gee19, pansypotter, for all your imfo....
