Yeah, those are pretty cool! I especially like the ones that have pale blue "rivers" of quartz, flowing over the brown "landscape". Nice job!

Steve, I have a whole load in 1000 grit now like those. They were to small to really do anything with so I thought why not run 'em.
I'll post mine when they get done in a few more weeks.
Very cool.

They came out very nice! Beautiful mirror shine on them. Rotary or vibe?

Very cool, Steve.
I like seeing the results when people have pushed the boundaries of "normal" tumbling a bit.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks guys for the comments.
Adrian..these all came from a rotary tumbler.
E-Dog...can't wait to see the pics of your tumbled Geodes.
Kap...haven't done anything yet with the lakers. Waiting for warmer weather to grind and slice a few. Can't Wait!!!
Thanks again everyone!

Those turned out really neat, they do look like rivers too. I could never do that though, I have to see the inside first.

Hey Steve, these are great geodes...I didn't think geodes took that great of a shine, but you prove me wrong. I can't wait to get to Delta in April to dig some of these.

Steve, I noticed that a lady from the Golden Spike Club at the rock show was displaying some tumbled Dugway geodes yesterday. They sure do shine up pretty don't they?

Vibe or rotary? I've got some dugways sitting at home, maybe they should go into the tumbler.

I ground all the matrix off of these, up until the agate cracks were exposed. They turned out pretty good...especailly since I had no idea what to expect, and these were a 1st for me.
