Nice batch of Bahia's! Amazing what a difference a "better" grit makes!

Nice batch. Do you use ceramic media to make the barrel 3/4 full? Goes to show that you can great results with the National Geographic tumbler. Thanks for sharing.

I did add some for the last 3 stages. But I was trying to keep it 2/3 - 3/4 full during stage 1

These are clear like glass but have these golden strands running through them. Hopefully these pictures are clear

Next up is the Mexican lace Agates I'm tumbling. This is after 3 weeks. They do have undercutting and a few cracks. One even has a hole through it.
