"I just saw the buff faced ones and put them in 220 in the Loto. No grinding or rotary on them. It's down n dirty tumble cabs" Can't take credit for that one. orrum said that a few days ago and it perfectly describes my weekly mini Lot O batches. Using a lot of ceramic media with the halves, slices and uncut rock together. Since the tile saw got here, the Lot O hasn't stopped. Good to have something to do until there's enough rotary tumbled rock ready. The new Q12 will really ramp up the action soon(ish). Here's last week's run, another ready on Monday.
Full disclosure - I did do a bit of grinding on some of them.

Those are great. The last one is awesome. Is that crazy lace?

Those are great. The last one is awesome. Is that crazy lace? Thanks. Yes, and it had a red, botryoidal surface on top. I tumbled it just until the lace started to show through a few bubbles and wanted to leave it that way. It's definitely a crazy looking rock, not the round, flawless type. I like the way it ended up.

Love the OJ with they orb on the corner. Missed you today. No stress... Hope all is well. I saw that orb and went for it. Still figuring out how to shape them with the side of the blade. Lucky that one came together on the corner like it did.
