Hey - I heard that using stainless strainers might scratch your rocks. Is that why you use plastic? I'm not sure if there is any truth in what I heard....
@@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976 I have found one just like it, in the UK identical, it was the only one and nothing like all the other stones on the beach, it just stood out green amoung the grey pebbles
They really are beautiful, but I can't help but see petrified meat and organs! There's even fatty tissue! I have some red Jasper that look so much like pieces of meat. It has me thinking...
That Hawkes bay jasper is just Beautiful 😍
It really is beautiful.
Very rough, but the colours are so vibrant.
Most of those slices in the first small barrel are from Southland /Riverton.
Beautiful Nicola 👌
I collected so many to many i took back to the river as they all are living stones it made me feel so good
I sometimes take stones back to the beach too.
The other day I found a rock. I took it home and cut it open and to my suprise there was more rock inside.
Just like when I'm out fishing. Ireland 🇮🇪
I did find many of similar stones at some beaches on South Coast of NSW. They look beautiful, but I don't know how to polish them.
@@CongTrading A rock tumbler is the best way to polish stones.
It's a GF rest hobby too.
Hey Nicola where do you get the parts for your tumbler ,I am on west coast S/I and having troubles getting anything

Yes ive heard that too, that's why I use plastic

@@BonesFPV also it's a good idea to have seperate plastic strainers for each stage
