I have collected at The Round Mt collecting area about 15 to 20 miles to the east/southeast of Safford. Same material just a bit less color/fire than what your tumbles show. Do love the "modern art" botryoidal pieces. Need to tumble more of those.

The tumbled pieces that you highlighted are so delicate and beautiful! What do you use as fillers in your vibe? Do they have to be very small chips to take care of the small ridges on the agates?

Nice! That would be fun to collect in that area. Did you run these through all stages or just a prepolish and polish?
