I couldn't see you wraps. I don't know if it's just my phone, but I would love to see some. Mine? Yes, it looked like you said that you had some you had wrapped recently. But I couldn't see any images on my phone. Now on my work computer it's the same. No images.

Thanks! Fun topic that turned into a fun waste of a couple hours on a quiet Sunday morning I don't know how well this will view at the size it is but here goes. A collage of my favorite cabochons with vugs, crystal or otherwise. Some of these were vug-like; ie: I left the edges incorporating a natural vug or feature. One cab here is made entirely of the bubbly interior of a colorful vug. Enjoy That was fun! Thank you! Heres some favs I have weapped lately I couldn't see you wraps. I don't know if it's just my phone, but I would love to see some.

I think it turned out really nice. With the color of the stone I think a LOS patina would really set it off nicely!

How lucky you are! I'm always curious who was the first person to cut open a big ugly rock to reveal the goodness inside. I would have walked right past those chalcedony.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. But who are these people?? Where did they get all that equipment and they only sell twice a year??

I agree with Chuck, 8&9 are awesome. Gotta make a pair of earrings with 9!

Fantastic batch p40whk . Even better with this being your first batch! I really love my Lot-O for finishing work. I too began with a very similar recipe to what you linked to. I have found that if I start with 2 tsp black AO (the cheap stuff from Harbor Freight) and run for a week, they will come out of that run nicely polished. Then I move to my polish barrel and they go to a glass shine in no time at all. And the AO keeps me from doing a clean out every few days to progress through the pre-polish stage. I'm very busy M-F and the less time during the week that I need to spend babysitting the tumblers, the more I like it. Ann

I've gotta admit that I did shudder at the thought of all that potential being sledge hammered to bits (okay, tumble bits, but still bits). But then I thought, well this is Chuck, so it's got to be okay.
