That is quite a mix of rocks. Most of them took a pretty good shine, but you can tell the granite type don't take too kindly to being polished. I see a few that are very interesting, the little conglomerate just a little off the center to the right, the yellowish one with the black spot just above the little conglomerate, and I think you have a Montana agate hiding in there too. I love seeing your tumbles, thanks for sharing.

Those granits are hard to do. Looks like most of them came out pretty good. Where did you collect them in Michigan? Thanks for sharing.

Thx for looking hope to get more up soon I recognized several from the Lakes .... mine from Lake Superior tend to get undercut quite a bit in the final stage ... still working on "how much is too much?" when it comes to the granites. Still PURDY even when a bit "lumpy" and when they do manage to be flaw free and shiny all over, they are stunning for having been plain ol' beach rocks.

Some of those are pretty cool. I especially like the gray, white, and black banded one right in the middle. I'm probably more entertained right now though by the similarity between your desk and mine. Rocks piled on top of work! 🤣

"Last clean out"
The title made my heart drop a little. I thought I was going into a thread with a sad story about your last ever tumble... Thankfully that was not the case!
Nice rocks! Thanks for sharing.

Love the red fortification agate right in the center. Pretty selection of moss agate too. All Michigan stuff?
Thanks for sharing.
