Awesome batch Cal! Great mix too! That's a beautiful piece of Morgan Hill in the batch. I'd mount that one like a cab as it looks real solid too....Mel

It might have been a year and a half, but you haven't lost your knack -- that's a fantastic batch. I especially like the Morgan Hill poppies, plus the Laguna agate in photo 5.

Very nice batch, Cal. Very colorful. Love the poppies and kabamba. Got to get my tumblers moving again.

Thanks for the kind comments. One reason for taking so long to finally finish a batch was I just kept running stuff in coarse. So, hopefully I will have another smaller batch finished soon!
The blue one is called blue swirlstone, which is a mix of sodalite and something for Africa.
My favorite is the second to the last - the black one, Stoner and I collected that rock with my kids at a local spot. I didn't think the rock had much potential, but it came out much prettier than I would have guessed!
