Well after a month and 8 days,my very 1st batch of tumbled rock is finished..... I did the four stages,plus the sugar too-than after it all was finished,I run the agates in hot water and Ivory soap for three hours.. A very nice batch..........They are photographed dry.....

A Montana agatefest by Fossilman ! Those should be the envy. I'm sure jealous. Congratulations with a grande entry. If you ever want to make cabs you have at least a hundred candidates. How many pounds ?

Congrats on finishing your first batch. Looks like it turned out just fine. Well done! All I'm missing is a couple close ups of your favorites.

If you have been paying attention, you well know that I'm not one to blow smoke or sugar coat stuff. That's a fine looking batch of Montanas! Nice job rookie

What a beautiful first batch!!!! And such dedication...8 months , that's certainly not a rookie move! I agree with Tammy! I think a second of one of these and you would have an amazing set of earrings!
