Cruentes Blood Agate and Turkish Stick Agate, new stones for me.
Thanks to jasoninsd I ordered a cerium oxide wheel and I'm pretty happy with it.
The Cruentes didn't polish real well, the white areas are soft and would only take a matte finish.
Thanks for looking!

Very pretty! I like both, but especially the shiny/matte contrast.
