Got this from Jason's super secret garden side Prarie Agate stash, hopefully more on the way in a few weeks Yellowstone River Find
The good..
And the bad...I learned I have to plug crystal vugs with wax or something similar. Womp.
Bunch of beautiful lake finds
Guess I missed a spot
Little scrap pieces too pretty not to take a shot
Thanks for looking

Forgot this guy Before
After. Maybe I went to far or shouldn't have run it all. Oh well, I still like it and those little flowers in the corner.

They are charming! The little scrap group is so pretty put together.
I like the last tumbled triangular piece. How long has it been tumbled?

I might be biased...but I'm thinking that Prairie Agate steals the show! Nice tumbles my friend!!

So I'll say roughly 3 months.
The little guys are usually the best, but fingernail sized stones ain't much to show off

I like it too, might hold onto for a little bit longer.
Green on black usually goes soft in the polish stage, lucky I guesss

The crystal vugs are okay by me. They are looking great! I have a piece that looks just like the green and black lake finds, it's in polish as we speak. I'm guessing it was from the same area. Love the prairie agates, they are perfect! I also like the unakite and other lake finds. Thanks for sharing.

Its kind of funny. The pieces that you apologize for are the ones that I like best. Nature is not perfect and what we do is try to help nature show its beauty (warts and all). I seem to have "liked" my own post in attempting to hit the edit button. Mia culpa.
