Great looking agates and jaspers in that batch. Great job on the ham quartz ball.

Those are beauties. So many colors and patterns.
Your tumbles are always nice. You must let them stay in course for a long time. cause they are well rounded

You must let them stay in course for a long time. cause they are well rounded Checked my notebook.....first few pieces came out after two weeks, some went as long as 14 weeks. Some of the original purchase are still going, must be near 18 to 20 weeks by now. I might need help

It takes a while to get them so well rounded. You have patience galore.

I have some stuff that looks like that Indian blanket jasper, in slabs. Overall, that's a nice tumble. Very well-rounded stones, with a high polish. I'm not sure if I could do much better.

These look fantastic. I can only hope mine will look like that some day. I'll be starting my first batch tomorrow. I was going to get some of that bubblegum agate from the rock shed but it was out of stock. Plenty of other rock though. Now I'm just picking up tips to cut down on mistakes. It's nice to get pointers from people who have been doing this for a long time.
