Aventurine (Rocko's Tumbled Stones)

If you are interested in tumbling your own stones, you can get details here.

Rocko decided to sell some of his tumbled stones that we purchased as rough from National Geographic. He plans to use the money for savings, for his and Joy's college funds, and for books from his school's book fair (we save money for this from recycling as well).

This is pretty much equivalent to a lemonade stand (we're "small batch, artisan, gemstones"); you can find these elsewhere for less money. When you buy from us, you're simply supporting our adventures.
