Another tumble-polished black and white stone from Gemstone Beach – the other black and white ones in this Series are #2, #12 and #13. Most similar to #12, it contains some dark gray pieces not in that stone.
Stone #28, Side A.
Stone #28, Side B.
Despite being tumbled in a fine 600 silicon carbide grit for at least a week before going into the polish tumble stage, the stone has a number of small rough areas. At least some of these are likely to be due to some softer minerals being present. I am often surprised to see such rough areas when looking at the close-up photos – they are not easy to pick up by eye when inspecting the stones between stages.
