Howdy folks, Finished another mixed batch today. here are a few pics of some of the highlights. Thanks for lookin.....Mel Little agates from Jim Brown (wampidy) Very similar to bubble gum agates but a bit more difficult to find good ones. Take a heck of a polish though. More Bahias. Man the kids love these and so do I Indian Green Moss and Green Tree agate. Popular with the kids but I hate both these materials. Often full of vugs and pits. Four more big pieces of palm fiber from my last George West area trip. More mixed wood from the same trip. Man this stuff has a lot of different colors and patterns. And finally mixed slabettes from my slab bin and from boxes I got from Ralph and Mary Ann and a couple of pother folks here at the RTH.

Green moss and green tea agates are my favorites, but all are great. Vibe or rotary?

Top notch polish on those. Tough call but I think the bahia is my favorite.

cardiobill: I coarse grind in the rotary but the other three stages are all done in a UV-10 vibe....Mel

After seeing your batch John (herchenx) wanted some and all I had left was much bigger ones but I sent them anyway. The best compliment is someone wanting to copy what you did and you certainly did it. Now that I know what I am looking for I only pick up the good ones. lol Although the bad ones make interesting gravel. Jim
