This is the batch that I took out today. Believe it or not the stone on the bottom right is a Tiger eye, it is just so dark that it looks black, but it is actually blue. Tami

Boy I like tumbled slabs! Those are real nice. Question for you. I've heard several names for that blue green picture jasper. The most often used one I've heard is Queen Picture Rock from Oregon. Did your slab come with an ID. I'd sure like to get that one confirmed for my notebook....Mel

Cool batch! I really like the Blue Lace and the Tiger Eye next to the blue one. It looks like the varigated colored. The Crazy lace above that one..... Oh heck I can't pick. They are all great!

I like so much that strange wood with two spots on it! And the blue one from the lower left. Those are my favs, but all are beautiful.

Cool slabs. I love that dreamy one on the upper left. Is it pet wood?

VERRY nice! I like the 2nd in the top row. Gold and clear, very nice! It's hard to get a really good shine on the clear pieces, or so I have found. I also love all the tiger eye! Great job!

My clear pieces almost always turn out great. I use two different polishes, I use 1 Tbsp of Aluminum Oxide and 1 Tbsp of Cerium Oxide. That has worked great for me, for about a year now. I started using the combo when I had alot of Aluminum Oxide and it was just sitting around, I thought I might as well use it. Now there are very pieces I have that don't polish. Tami
