figured i'd get more attention with that title than "my latest batch", but herein i do have few spectacular failures. but overall a happy mixed batch, one fish and a lot of saw scraps. here is the whole plate, a little bit of everything: the next two pics are examples of what came out quite nicely, Lakers and Lace: and here is a few shots to let everyone beware....never tumble Prudent Man agate...it cabs ok, but it undercuts in the rotary tumbler! i put in some Utah wonderstone in (again) for about the 10th time as filler really and got the best shine to date. no close up, but you can see them in the 6 o'clock on the plate. oh, and the fish, his beginning was featured in another thread... if i can find that original thread again i should take a few close ups and have the whole thing. i got a lot more stuff in the works...more to come soon.... thanks for looking!!!

What a beautiful batch, those agates and the lace are awesome. So's the fishy, way cool! I need to get one of them cut out so my little lonely fishy has company.

Great batch! Probably the best tumbled shine on wonderstone that I've seen posted. Interesting about the prudent man agate. I think I like the chrysoprase best... something about those greens.

Yea KD- The wonderstone shine was the best I've seen- I can get a real nice matte finish on mine but not as nice as what you got. To bad about the prudent man- I think most plume-y agates fall victim to that dreaded undercutting
