Hi all. It seems like forever since the last batch came out of polish. Took these out today. Just a mixed batch, mostly agates, crazy lace, a few poppy jaspers, a few pieces of limbcast. I took these pics indoors using "daylight" flourscent light and a flash. Not the best pics, but you'll get the idea. The whole batch  some close ups  without flash      Thanks for looking, Ed |

That rock is really cool looking Kim. I bought a chunk that was about 8lbs from the shop that went out of business for $.50lb. I don't know what it is but I really like it. Parts of it have like clear agate in it too.
Thanks Joe, yea, I just leave the tumblers running while I play with the other stuff.

Thats a great looking batch Ed! I especially like that orange and silver stuff next to the poppy jasper, and of course the poppy jasper! Super shine too! We are still eagerly awaiting the outcome of the batch of poppy jasper you have been posting. I can almost hear the tumbler churning away.

Some of those stones raise the bar for hi-gloss.

Very nice job! You got a great shine on that poppy jasper, so we have big expectations for what you come up with this Friday! ;D Is that a piece of polka dot agate I see in the lower left of pics 2 and 3? -- don't know if I've ever seen that on the board before.

I'm drooling, too! It's always great to have something to aspire to. I feel like an old guy looking at a porn site - more pics! more pics!

Thanks all. I'm hoping it's just a warmup to the next batch-lots of poppy jasper coming up next week.
KD, now that you mention it it does look like a goose head and the rest of it looks like the body of a goose sitting in a pond of water. I use Tin Oxide on all my batches now.
RS, those stones aren't polka dot agate but I'm not sure what they are. I've got a big chunk of it left so you'll be seeing more in future batches.
Thanks again,
Ed
