This batch of Montana agates, petrified wood, amethyst, and jaspers came out of polish today.
Mexican Crazy Lace Yellowstone petrified wood Arizona Petrified wood Some type of fossil Botswana Agate Rutilated quartz
I'm pretty sure this is petrified wood, maybe from Arizona.
Amethyst This one was sent to me from Michigan I hope the photos are okay. Thanks.

Wow these are amazing. The 1981 penny is cool too. Thanks, I tried several different ways of taking photos and I'm not satisfied with the iPhone 7 results, but I'm glad I posted them nonetheless. I'm glad you like them and the penny, it was the least shiny one I had so it wouldn't glare too much.

Very pretty. They all look really nice together.đź‘Ť About how long did they tumble? Thanks, I think the group photo is the best. The tumble time varies so much for each of the rocks it is hard to say, but the one that took the longest is the jasper agate, about 6 months total. The shortest was the Yellowstone pet wood, about two months or less. They shaped up very nicely and with very little cracks, I was pleasantly surprised. The rutilated quartz took about two months as well. The Montana agates take a very long time, about 4 months or so. I keep the ones that are ready in a container with water until I have enough for the vibe tumbler and to fill that container it took me about two months. Doug

Wow dshanpnw. Great shaping and an outstanding polish. Well done! I like the Montana agates but they’re all great. You might have some tourmilinated quartz in with your rutilated.
