My fourth batch is FINALLY done - after 4 weeks in coarse grit. I know, I know, I'm supposed to be learning patience.  Here's the gallery album: 4th batch finished - galleryand here are some highlights: (please let me know if you can tell what any of these are!) The self-collected portion:  The portion of this batch with rough from KAP and Catmandewe (once again, thank you to Keith and Tony)!!:  And some of the individuals: pic 3: pic 4: pic 5: pic 6: pic 7: pic 8: pic 9: pic 10: And lastly, the real stunner of the batch (I can't wait to set this!):  Hope everyone's have a nice time getting ready for the holidays....

Wow!  That last one is indeed a stunner. Do you know what it is and/or where it's from? Great job on the tumble! I love tumbling found rock and you've got some beauties in that first photo. That solo rock in the 6th photo might be an ocean jasper? I've got some that looks a lot like that. |

Gorgeous lot there! That certainly is a stunner although I also love the ones with black dendrites in!! Also, what are the ones with the bright blue in please?
Edit: by the way, the link to the gallery takes me to a page asking for a password...

Edit: by the way, the link to the gallery takes me to a page asking for a password... Thanks for that heads-up, I fixed the album (for some reason the albums sometimes default to private instead of public). Keith (kap) sent me the ones with the bright blue - and I can't remember what they are - maybe he can chime in with an answer... Nancy |

Real nice batch, I love the variety. The last one is sweet! Some real colorful moss agate, no clue where it's from though. I like pics #5 and #7 a lot as well.

Those are beauties for sure! I have one similar to that last one, but mine undercut in the tumbler in the black area. There appears to be a little pyrite glitter in there.
I'll guess number 3 is Mara Mamba - pet wood from Africa

I'd love to know what the ones with the bright blue in them (picture 9) are, also!
