Almost Finished Batch ... Mar 14, 2009 17:40:05 GMT -5

Since I have started this hobby, I have started 9 batches of tumbles. As of today, I have three still active (#'s 6, 8, and 9).

After starting, removing, replacing, and moving on with all of the rocks, I have finally thrown caution to the wind.

I took my batch that I had in pre polish of 7 days and started the final polish.

The stones all seem (appear) to have smooth matte finishes.

Here they are after pre polish ...

For some reason ... even though I have been doing better each time I take pictures, the last few batches (at least to me) of pictures seem fuzzy. Maybe it is just my eyes ...

You can stare at a rock for hours and never see the same thing twice.
