Those look great and have a nice glassy shine too. were any of these hammered down to tumbler size or were they all semi smooth beach stones? Either way they look perfect now.
Glad to see some picture action in this section too. Its not like the cabbing section where there's new cabs everyday.

These were all nicely beach tumbled. My son and I both love these batches because they're only in rough grind for 1-3 weeks. That's instant gratification compared to most other tumbles.

Softer stuff is great.Short coarse grinds.Your unakite is always fine.Sounds like they were rounded by your great lake.Stuff made up with fractures as part of it's beauty makes life easy too.Pretty stuff

Hey Randy, does Virginia Unakite look like Michigan Unakite? The stuff I see for sale by places like The Rock Shed is from Brazil and it looks a lot different than the stuff I find in Michigan.

Virginia unakite is green with pink and dark green speckles. I thought that I had a wire wrap posted here but I can't seem to find it, and I gave it to my mother in law last month. lol
