Your a machine, 14 loads already ! Ever notice how those super hard agates don't like to round off ? Georgia chert and coral likens to Mohs 36, it takes forever to round it off in step 1. Montana and Brazilian, many others are just plain hard tough rocks. Even if they can scratch each other(same hardness) some rocks must have a toughness that prevents them from rounding off. Nice batch Ashley. When you going to get some of that fancy eyeball rhyolite, that stuff is a trip.

I put diamond paste on the proper pad but i think I did it wrong.

Might get some when I can convince the husband that paying money for rocks is not insanity lol! I have to time my rock spending out evenly not too much at once lol! Some of this batch was some pieces from you, one of the moss agates, petrified wood and other pieces. All little saw scraps that took an awesome shine. Can’t wait to get a cabbing machine and work some of your stuff on it. But alas it will be a while.

Are these corals? They look cute! Yes, the top 4 are. The far right lower corner is just a shell fossil in some host rock and the lower left two small ones are chain coral that didn’t tumble well. FYI don't tumble chain coral lol!

There's some very nice pendant material in there! I personally like the moss agate in there.
