Here is the latest batch of quartz and quartzite. They were polished in the Mini Sonic. There were several quartzites in this batch that have larger grains (almost small rocks like pudding stones) in them. They always look good (or interesting?), at least to me.

Thanks for taking a look,

Chris

Nice batch!

The more that I tumble this type of self collected quartz/quartzite, the more that I am starting to like it. I am really liking all of the "imperfections" that are in them. Each stone is so unique in its own way.

Thanks. I am thinking that way also about self collected quartz/quartzite.
