Ok here are my tumble junk results. These have not gone through the burnish stage. Just cleaned them up with a bit of dish soap. Some have polish in the divits, others like the apache tears, have no polish on them, but it looks like it in the pic. It is actually flash back from the camera flash. I am satisfied with the results. I'll put them through burnish when I get time from work. Hope you enjoy the pics and yes, all of this was tumbled together, no special treatment, just grit, beads and water, then polish & beads. Some are amazing, others are just cool.

BTW- these were tumbled in 2, 3lb barrels. I think I started these Dec 29th, 2007.

Clickable pics.

Apache Tears

Woods

Bots from Snowdog.

Emeralds & Garnets

Georgia Lace slabs

Picture Jasper and Travertine?

All the rest

Below are pics of some I thought came out real good.

This was a piece of the rocks Cina shared with us. Neat pattern that was unexpected.

Bunch of little pieces

Lapis

I hope you enjoyed the pics. I need to learn to take better pics. The Apache tears are awesome. They look like very shiney jelly beans, with no cracks or divits, very smooth. And the bots, wow, they are also very shiney. I need to find out how to capture the shine without having flash spots. ugh!
