Retumbled my bots (used as filler for the flint) Son Of Beach jasoninsd ashley and any one else I've sent flint to, I hope I did Ohio and Nethers farm justice with their media. I got a beautiful shine.

Great polish! What are the three in the upper right in the last pic? Banded flint?

Wow! You got an incredible shine on all of those. I'd say you did them justice.

nursetumbler Nice shine Kelly, good to see your pics again I have some Ohio Flint ready to polish and I'm learning more and more about this material the longer I look at it, looks you like you absolutely nailed it.

Thank you so much Chad Son Of Beach I thought after not getting a glass shine on my exotica jasper I lost all I learned then I found out it is pretty finicky stuff. I may throw it through a vibe. Hope PNW is treating you well. Kelly nursetumbler These actually got left in polish for 3 weeks 😳 due to an emergency back at home. Love looking at all the different patterns in the material.

Looks like you are putting it to good use. I absolutely love the Bots! Looking forward to seeing more batches in the future.

Outstanding batch Kelly. The shine you achieved is spectacular. Bots and flint are both really satisfying to tumble. Thanks for sharing your work.

Gorgeous!! Yes, I'd say you did Ohio's flint very proud! The banded (as far as I'm aware) is just called banded flint or maybe banded chert. I read somewhere that the black variety is the flint and the rest is chert, but po-tay-to, po-tah-to, I guess.... Thanks for sharing. I still have buckets of this stuff, but want to go back and get more lol...

Its impossible to say which one is the best. They are all 10/10.
Nice job there!

Great shape and shine on both. Looking very good. Two of my most favorites. I had problems with Exotica (sci-fi jasper) also. Thanks for sharing.
