Pocket Tumble — Dawson Arkose

The everyday piece. Collected from weathered Dawson Arkose exposures east of Parker, these stones spent four weeks moving through coarse grit, medium grit, pre-polish and a final cerium oxide stage.

Grain direction is clearly visible on most stones, and many show the original cell structure of the wood under a loupe. Colors run through warm browns and ochres with occasional red jasper banding.

Sold individually. Because each stone is natural, the one you receive will differ from the photograph — we pick the best of the batch.
