I'm jealous!
The amber and yellow ones caught my eye in the overall photo. Do you remember where you collected them?
There's still about 2 to 3 feet of snow that tames the rock hound in me.

Super shine. I have always wanted to get over to that side of Canada. I know what I'll be looking for when I do someday.

Beautiful shine on the whole lot!

In both photos of the rough are some that have purple or pink tones. The second rough photo that purple/pink one looks banded. How did those turn out (are they in the finished photos already)?

The purple one was like an amethyst skin on quartz crystal, but 95% of the purple got ground off in the tumble  . I have one in 600 grit now with alot more purple to start with and it looks like it will turn out good. the banded one in the second rough picture can be seen finished in picture 18. |
