Awesome batch! I've never seen that snakeskin agate polished before - it looks great. And the rose quartz - top notch! Thank you, I had no idea how the snakeskin would turn out. I'll have to buy some more. The rose quartz was my main mission in this batch. |

I also like the Holley Blues, Snakeskins and Roses. I just bought some $30/lb rose quartz and out of 5 pounds I only got one that nice. Where do you buy your rock from? Thank you, this rose quartz was $25 a pound. It was labeled "exceptional". |

What a fantastic batch! Your shaping and polish look as good as it gets. The Holly Blue is gorgeous. Have you checked the rose quartz for asterism? You did a really fine job finishing those. That show really made my day. Thanks for showing. Thanks so much, I'll have to take a look for the asterism. I heard of it before. If it's there I'll faint. |

You did an incredibly good job with these rocks! My favorites are your self collected poppy jaspers. I have always wanted some of those. What part of Washington did you find them? Thank you, Those poppy's were found just south east of the Olympic National Park, on a river. That is about the only type of rock I ever find. That and red jasper.  |

These are beautiful! I’m starting to fall in love with Montana Agate! I have some going through right now… Thanks, they have to be my favorite as well. I hope they turn out nice. |

I like what you did with the Snakeskin. I assume you can just tumble the indents away if you wanted to? You've got all parts of the hobby down  |

I can only echo what everyone else has said. A great job on a beautiful selection of materials! Anytime there's Crazy Lace, Blue Agate, Amethyst Sage and Poppy it's bound to be good but the stellar polish and shaping took it up several notches. Thanks for sharing them.

Wow! Being a cabber who cannot even imagine waiting for weeks or months to see results, typically the tumbled rocks are not in my world view - but darn, those are pretty amazing! What a monstrous polish! Outstanding!
