;D i got this from Banjo a while back, it's gorgeous stuff. some of the larger pieces i may cut on the saw and tumble again. these were in coarse grind for at least 4 weeks, two weeks in medium, two weeks in 600 and two weeks in CPP. and a couple of mex lace "do overs" for ballast: thanks for looking!

Great shaped stones and, especially, shine. I think this recipe for tumbling works great. May favorite is mexican lace - second picture the smallest one to the right.

Very nice. Thanks for showing the Hickoryite. I have some done up, but didn't know what it was. Who gets tired of looking at lace? Not me.

KD: I've always found that hickoryite to be difficult to polish. You did a wonderful job. Those stones came out really nice! Remind me again, which polish is CCP so I can write down your recipe ? mel

KD - The hickoryite is gorgeous stuff, but that 2nd piece of lace, with the tubes, is awesome.

That mexican lace is gorgeous - it's so deep! The shine on all of the stones is awesome.

Another excellent job KD. Funny how that mex lace always seems to pop up in your batches. If I didn't know better, I'd say that's one of your favorite stones.

KD hates Mexican lace, but a lapidarist uncle of hers left 10 tons of lace to her, so what choice does she have but to tumble the crap to get rid of it? ;D
Love the hickoryite, I've never heard of it before, but it has great colours and you sure put a shine on it!!
