Those are great! I am still trying to work out the best way to do my rough stage. Impressive that you can knock these batches out so quickly.

I have found that running 30-40 pounds in stage one at all times allows me to cull a few pounds a week which keeps a loto vibe going 24-7 all year. My loto process is for stage two thru polish is a 7 day cycle.

Like all, but the mookaite hat is especially pretty. Never heard of Lake Huron granite. Never would have guessed. Our granite is all black, white and gray.

Granite is some of the most colorful rock on the beaches here. I have stopped picking it up because I'm usually disappointed in the way it tumbles. Chuck's looks good though. Chuck, I'm pretty sure that's a horn coral. I did one recently that turned out pity good, but not nearly as good as yours. The rest of your rocks are incredible as usual. Hard to chose a favorite.

Could be a section of horn coral. I do not make a point of tumbling fossils but a few make it in from time to time. I had a full horn coral in last weeks loto batch that looked great going in and horrible coming out. This one could have just been more silicified. Chuck

Fantastic! I'd have to say the Rio is my favorite. I've been wanting to tumble some for quote a while now.

They're all great! I like the pink quartz and the Lake Huron granite best. That red is awesome. Have you ever cabbed it?
