this is a little bit of everything, mostly saw tailings, they've been in CPP since the 24th of July: some bloodstone? Randy's green zebra in the background: some lace: some obsidian from Connrock: and some pet wood from NMRocks: i've got a whole batch of her stuff in 120/220 now, i'm hoping for a real nice batch in the future, but for now... thanks for looking, KD

Pretty stones! I wish mine would turn out that shiny. I still have a lot to learn. Debbie

OOOoooo....green zebra ;D Hey, question about the obsidian....is that all one batch? I didn't think that you could tumble obsidian with the agates, if you can then I sure would like to know. I have 40 pounds of it that I haven't touched yet!! Oh, beautiful stuff darlin!!

Randy - Others can say for sure, but I think that it is just brittle and a little softer. So it can go in with agate, but watch it in the 1st stage for too much shaping. Shoul be less of a problem in a vibe. I don't know about going with anything harder than agate.

Cool, I think that I'll try a couple of pieces in the next batch just to see what happens. I figure that the worst thing that could happen is that it might disappear.

another winning batch- Hmmm we don't see much lace agate from you- that's to bad cause you really do put a nice shine on it (LMAO)

Amazing shine, and what a spectacular variety of stones! I'm especially impressed that you mixed the obsidian with much harder materials and still gave it a super shine.

Nice batch, KD. I love these multi-colored batches cause mine are always just one or two.

Very nice KD. They all look great, nice shape and shine and that bloodstone looks awesome. Oh, and of course the lace, what would a KD batch be without lace. What? No fish?
