Title: coral and creek gravel
Post by: Timo on July 28, 2011, 11:33:55 pm

This is the first time I have ever hit coral,gotta say it can be great.....or not. The small Dalton was a nice slick piece of rock, but that Agate Basin gave me some fits. I gotta get some more of this stuff though,it is addictive! I kept most of the length on the bigger point, but pressured out a big chunk and lost alot of width. It has several polyps but are hard to see in the pics.

The lil yellow point came from a creek near my house.... I wished I could find some bigger pieces of that stuff!

Nice points there Timo, do you know what type of rock that yellow one is? Sure looks nice.
