I finally learned how to take decent pictures with my daughter's camera. I have been tumbling this stuff for more than 3 months, but here it is. Let me know what you guys think. These results were reached with the following:

3 weeks in 46/70 grit
2 weeks in 220
10 days in 700 Aluminum oxide
10 days in TO

Let me know what you think.

This is the pigeon blood agate from Utah (if you are interested I have some large pieces of this stuff I could sell $35+ 8.95 for an FRB)

Some moss agate from Utah

A piece of opalized wood from AZ

I would like to hear your thoughts on these pieces.
