Nice bunch-o-rocks miket. Some really interesting patterns in those agates. Well done. Some of the white in the cracks could be polish but could be frosting. I have noticed when a fracture runs roughly parallel to the surface the edge of the crack can frost. It can look like polish. With a good magnifier you can usually tell the difference. Some of your pieces could have gone longer in first stage to get rid of flaws. Go too deep however and possibly lose a feature. It's a balancing act. Most importantly if you like the way it looks it's all good.

You have some very pretty material in your tumble. I use a dry cleaner spot cleaner gun to remove polish in the crystal pockets if they are not deep with good success. Sometimes cracks will clean but most time not so much. If I really like a stone I would grind off any blemish that is shallow and start again.
