Wow, nice batch, Dan. Those obviously spent some serious time in the first stage. They're perfectly shaped and flawless.

thanks, they spent around 12 weeks in 46/70. These were my filler for some larger pieces that I was working on; once stones were shaped, a new piece went in as replacement.

You've just hit upon a way of polishing smalls that most people either don't realize or don't mention..... by using them and grit carriers and spacers for tumbling bigger stones!!!! That's how I tumble most of my smalls.... by adding them to the bigger pieces and keeping them there while I move the big pieces through the different grit sizes!!! And they look Mah-vel-us!!! Cheers!!

Great looking batch. That yellow rock in the top left corner of the first pic is really nice and not something I see often.

Great tumbling job. Those are fine agates, and unfamiliar. Some bright colors.

Nice batch Dan. That's how I do my spalls too. Why use ceramic when you can use small agates.
you got a great polish on those.
