The face of WI wasn’t flat, so back to 150 grit wet sandpaper.... Also some of the rougher pieces will not go on to polish.

Tumbling 30 lbs of good old Agates and Jaspers, with a couple of other rock types tossed in, Granite and Amethyst, in my TT Model B's. I like patterns and colors in my tumbled rocks and these fit the bill.

Here is what i had in the 80gr this past week, the red gravel is from what used to be the barn before it burned down(long before I came along) so i thought these rocklets might show something cool Here is the pink granite I polished something i found on the railroad tracks, it was mostly the black stone so i trimmed most of that away and cut the stripe different ways Petrified wood, I really should to a batch of only pet wood not sure what this is, it just looked cool

Nice. Looks like it has some nice parallax effect.

Hmmm... I have many barrels going so... Yellow Jasper, Lavic Siding for the contest, Crazy Lace Agate, Sunstone, Unakite, Septarian, Red Calcite & the ever-frustrating Labradorite. Today is rotation day, so its time to go out and peek at them :-D

Well do you like it? whyofquartz your parts manager has a twisted and dirty mind but it is possible I posted it sideways to discourage such thoughts. You’re not the first.
