Well I finally was able to get a Genie. It was in my price range anyway, and I tried it out today. These are not all cabs, but they are all ones I polished with the Genie today. First one: I didn't realize all the birds were watching when I was mining Tahoma Agate last year. www.gametrails.com/images/03062009 00.JPG[/img] Number two: Tahoma Agate nodule(rounded bubble) www.gametrails.com/images/03062009 03.JPG[/img] Number three: Orbicular jasper from Skokomish River www.gametrails.com/images/03062009 04.JPG[/img] Number four: Banded Agate from Kalama. www.gametrails.com/images/03062009 05.JPG[/img] The banded agate was the first one I finished and it shows it in the so-so polish. The two Tahoma Agates were the last and I was quite pleased with the results. Thanks for looking chasfire

No. 1 could be ducks all lined up in a row ... or could't it be the fossilized jaw bone of a prehistoric K-9 critter?
Agates are fascinating. Cool!

It looks like you have all your ducks in a row with that new Genie. That Tahoma is really beautiful. Good for you!

I am so happy for you! It will be a long time before I can get a genie or anything like that but I am so happy you have one because we can all benefit from it! I love your pictures and your little quackers are great all lined up! Have fun! Fran

Wow, nice group of WA cabs. What part of WA do you reside? With the new machine hope to see many more cabs.

49er: I reside in Olympia, but spend a lot of time in the woods of Lewis, Cowlitz, and Clark County.
Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

Those all look like good polishes to me! I especially like the rubber duckies, and that banded carnelian really has some nice color to it (I usually prefer the reds). Garry

That is what I was going to say. Looks like a dinosaur jaw.
Very Pretty!
