Good looking batch. Looks like some nice moss agate in there too!

Thanks!
We're still learning, so we'll have to go through them more carefully and figure out what they all are. We just thought that they were all quartz.

Quartz could be quite challenging to tumble. You did a great job.

Quartz could be quite challenging to tumble. You did a great job. Thanks! We're learning that 😂. Cracks just keep appearing on them. Every stage 1 cycle we think that certain rocks will be ready the next cycle and the old crack would be gone, but a new one would sometimes pop up. And sometimes pieces will just break off. I now know why some people hate messing with quartz. But the wife loves it 🤣🤣. |

python ... another nice job ! Have noticed that cracks and pits sometimes suddenly appear in stage 4 in rocks that were "perfect" until then! Seems to just be the nature of some stones to be like that and it's not from doing anything wrong.

Nice batch!
That large yellow piece reminds me of amber in the closeup shot!

Nice job. My wife likes quartz too and I have a few pound of bought varieties to do. Waiting to get my random rocks and agates/jaspers done first for the experience.

python - I just caught this thread! You really did those stones justice! (...and your wife's a keeper for sure!  )
