Here are the results of my "tumble along", i didn't add any pics in my earlier post because there would be almost no differnce after 500 and 800 grits. from slabs or rough, to Work Force tile saw, to bench grinder w/ 100 grit green grit wheel, to UV-10 thumlers vibe, 2 days 120/220, 1 day 500, 1 day 800, 1 day Tin oxide polish. I'll start off w/ some "need to go back to 120/220" this is all some moss agate, Either I didn't notice it to start off with, or it developed some chips/vugs in polish, but it's going back to 120/220. picture jaspers pet woods, montana agates, green tree agate, and an unknown, has a really cool greenish gold sheen too it green moss, porcilain jasper, not pleased w/ the porcilain jasper, had some undercutting issues, and unkowns... to me anyway and finally, more bots, two stonesthatrock cabs, and one of my wanna be cabs. This isn't the full load, there was lots of filler and scraps.

Those turned out great! I especially like the picture jaspers with blue in them, the highly banded petwood in the upper-left, and the Montana agates. -Don

Beautiful tumbled cabs! My favs are the rhombic picture jasper and the dendritic woods.
