This is my first complete tumble. I started this batch in September. Now December I finally have something to show. It has been a learning experience. Quality in is quality out. I shall remember that next time. I went through a lot of wasted material to get this far. Anyway let me know how I did. Good or bad I' all ears. ;D Entire Batch Amethyst Citrine Thanks for looking.

Those look great! I have no advice that would make them any better than what you already got. Get yourself some bell caps and you could have a few nice pendants in there.

If you put Amethyst and Citrine in the same tumbler, are you going to get Ametrine when they are finished?lol
Well, I think that, unless he hid them from us, the answer is no.
Darn it I was wanting some Ametrine and thought that I could make my own.lol

Look great. I think once you get a nice batch like that everything gets easier. You now know you can do it.
Great job Bill
