I spent some time cutting up some brazilians for tumbling. I have so much fun cutting nodules because of the surprises inside. Here's the results ;D Steve Before: After (oooh ahhhhh):

My favorite material to cut are nodules! I love Suprises. I really like that little guy 3rd row down with the flow channel and blue/grey bandings. Steve

There is a surprise in every rock! Are those Montana's in the second pic on the left? Kind of looks like it. Really cool batch! Fran

Brazilians are always fun - that's why they got the Olympics.

These look great, lots of possibilities for cab or just great polished spec. These nodes are always an adventure. Debby and Tom

Thanks, these are actually going into the tumbler as-is. I need to figure out a way to tumble the ones with crystal centers without destroying them. If I don't then I will just finish those on a flat lap. Frane, I was wondering that about that clear one too. It might be a Montana agate. There's not many inclusions but it looks real nice. Steve
