Cryptic crossword No 2,600

Great puzzle and amazing the number of ways you have incorporated the theme. Lovely short concise surfaces, only a few were easy solves but all of them a pleasure so can't really pick favourites out of them, but I think 25a is COTD and I particularly liked 12a, 13a and 32a ...

Thanks PostMark for a very creative crossword. I found this mostly gentle but the SW corner held me up a bit. My top picks were 11a, 12a, 18a, 4d, 20d, 21d, 28d, and 29d. More in reply.

Thanks Postmark, that rocked! Loved the myriad ways of working the theme, and the polished surfaces. 13a, 18a, 25a, 3d, 4d, 19d, 24d my picks. I hope BR appreciated it too. Thanks again, PW.

Thanks PM, I really enjoyed this one. Lovely use of the theme and lots of delightful clues. 8a my pick I think.

Haha, from the surfaces at first I was worried about how many rocks I could actually name, but in the end it was a lovely broad working of the theme. Particular favourites: 2d (nice variation on a crossword classic), 25a (def made me smile), 24d, 32a and 15d. I was only really troubled by 7d, but then... [spoilers] ->

Very nice indeed PM, thanks for another thoroughly themed puzzle full of cracking clues. Top picks for me were 8a (very neat), 11a (clean), 22a (smooth), 25a (very cute), 14d (likewise) and 24d (fun)

Lovely stuff PM - 13a is "sublime", 32a great, and 5d my personal favourite. Cheers!

What fun, how many meanings can one word have? So many neat clues it's hard to pick just a few faves but: 10a,13a, 17a and 32a, as well as 1d,7d,21d,23d,24d (COTD) & 29d

Thanks PM, very much enjoyed the puzzle and the exploration of the theme. Favourites were 10a, 18a, 1d, 15d and 23d.

Thanks for posting this PM - I enjoyed revisiting it. Two that caught me out first time round managed to do the same the second time round! Podium: 13a, 25a and 31a
