This is how they came out. And again, thank you for looking. Condor

He was kind enough to let me have it. I forgot to post it with the other WWR agates. Condor

I especially like the second picture -- super shine and scads of rutile needles. -Don

I've got a bunch of rutilated quarts I bought from Teresa Rocks on eBay. I retumbled them because they were pretty beat up. They all came out nice but only about 10% came out cab worthy. About 50% came out tumbled specimen worthy and the rest were good enough to give away to kids at shows. I tumbled them all together and they came out nice and that was even before I discovered this board so I was pretty much a rookie tumbler.
