It's been nearly a year since I finished a batch. Really like how this Tiger's Eye turned out, material gifted by Rockindad RWA3006 what do you think Randy? Poo or Ohio Flint? I shouldn't have mixed those two... This piece of Ohio Flint made itself into a nice necklace piece |

I really like that rock, and he didn't seem to mind letting it go lol.
Think I only ran it two weeks in coarse.

If I remember correctly, didn't I have you dig through a big bag of "tumbling" Botswana Agates? I actually didn't remember that until I looked at the picture... I know I've never had any Swazi...so if that one did come from me, it's gotta be one of the Bots...I think! LOL |

Me and the big one to the right have been at this a while. About a lifetime ago, he was one week from polish and a big chip came out of it, so I left it with a scar.
Been taming this one for a while too, another pickup from the Rock Shed last year. Didn't feel right losing the black and brown.
I really like this rock, maybe it grows on you after a certain amount of weeks. Just wish it would have photographed better.

dillonf, ashley Thank you. It's been nearly a year of living out here. Still miss Lake Michigan, but I can cope with the rest of the scenery round these parts.

I'm glad you like them because they can be a frustrating end to an otherwise enjoyable process.
Can't exactly pass them around the digital campfire...
