Would you tumble this?

The last three pictures are of the rock dry. I’m just wondering if anyone has experience tumbling this type of rock/features. Honestly, I don’t find a lot of real banded agate. Mostly I find stuff similar to this(if I’m lucky)or fairly boring chalcedony/banded chert(I love banded chert). I LOVE the little orbicular and eye type patterns and lace like patterns of these though. I think I’m going to throw it in the next batch and cross my fingers. Any suggestions?

I found this today in SK Canada and had thought it was a little piece of some kind of feldspar, but I’m thinking I might be wrong.

It kind of has a flash when you tilt it, like feldspar, but I’m not seeing a colour flash like moonstone, so quartz? Or is there a feldspar possibility?
I’m trying my best to identify my own rocks before asking here to see if I’m right and maybe I’ll learn and get better at it. The last picture is of the rock dry and the pseudo (?lol) flash I was talking about.

An unusually special rock

When I found this rock I came to Reddit for an ID. I was told that it’s Graphic granite. I don’t find a whole lot of rocks like this locally(Canadian prairies), in all my years maybe 3-4. I decided to see how it tumbled. I put it in with my usual hard mix, agate, chert, jasper. This is it after 2 weeks, it held up great and it’s ready to move on and I am kind of in love with it. I think it’s mostly feldspar and quartz, but the pattern is so unique. I might have to cut one of my others and see what happens. Has anyone tumbled anything like this before?

Went for a rock hunt today, sharing some favourites

Amygdaloidal basalt, some kind of agatey fossilized sponge(?) and the ugliest prairie agate that ever existed.🥰

I found this today(Eastern SK Canada) and I’m curious to know if there is a name for these spider web looking marks. I included pictures of the rest of the rock too, just incase it helps.
