That Hawkes bay jasper is just Beautiful 😍

@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976 2 года назад

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.

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 10 месяцев назад

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

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.

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...

@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976 Год назад

They really do look like meat. Bit chewy though
