These next few are small geodes that I thought I'd throw in to tumble. I have a whole load of slightly bigger geode halves in 500 grit now.

I like the lower right piece in the first pic, and the druzy pockets in the last pic ... especially the largest one!

I see a stone like that and I'm thinking pendant. Nice work! Rick

The other full load of them I have to pick some of the pellets out of the holes/druzy.

So are the brownish lace in the 4th pic and the dendritic. Their shape and shine are simply perfect! I wonder how long did they tumble in the first syage. Adrian
