Those turned out great Chris! That polish is very nice! These beach rocks can be frustrating, often they have fractures that just go on forever.
I still haven't gotten to your rocks! They're still sitting on rock desk, waiting their turn in the QT66! I'll be sure to make a post like this when I finish them up.

I should have taken them out of the box when I got them to give a better before and after comparison.

So some of these are beach rocks? They look very good. I like the red one, second photo after the group photo. Thanks for sharing the joy.

Thanks dshanpnw. I think the blue/green ones were from the beach and also the red/yellow jaspers may have been from the beach (I believe from California, north of SF). Here are a couple pictures hplcman (Justin) sent of the beach rocks he typically finds. A few, the blue lace and seam agates were from other areas. ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/rth-new-member/image/upload/v1721395325/new-members/gc5znqjyovpkv1nzbtsh.jpg) ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/rth-new-member/image/upload/v1721395325/new-members/ebgqzltcs8gbvpuv0do4.jpg)
