Finally got time to get my camera out. Here is what is left -- after my daughter pilfered what she could -- of my very first tumble that I did with the Lortone. It was started in January, and then restarted several times. I finally finished them in March  Three months!  Couple of interesting pieces . . .are all of these petrified wood?  And something that I was advised not to tumble, but I did anyhow. I had to; they were there Kunzite  I was VERY impressed with the shine and how they turned out. Eileen |

Thanks, Roger.
Soon as I get a chance I'll post the pix of my second and third tumbles that I finished up in the Lot O. The shine is AMAZING and waaaaaaaaaay better than my first lot in the Lortone.

Thanks, plantfood!
I lucked out and got a fair amount (meaning a lot more than most sellers have in one auction) from a guy on eBay who was selling pink, green and yellow. I don't remember his name and it was several months ago. I asked for green, but I think he sent me a mix of green and yellow. You can see that one of the pieces in the picture is much greener than the others.
I still have five or six pieces and I won't be tumbling those.
