Great patterns in those agates! You did a nice job bringing them out. Did you tumble "as is" or did you cut to help highlight the agate patterns?

Hi All
Thanks for comments

EJS
I didnt cut the Montrose they were like that when I got them out of the rock probaly split with the chistle a bit
I did a couple of runs in 80G (2 X 6days)in the rotary first with these Montrose Agates to get the skin off
Thanks again

What a nice batch! I love all of your preforms and the rest look really nice! The montrose have such deep band patterns. That last picture really shows them off!

Hey you old Limey coot!
Ya done GREAT fella!
Beautiful shine to them buddy!
The Montrose agate you sent me is soooooooooooooooooooo pretty and I've never see a pink so pastel looking.I want to make a piece of jewelery from it but have to study it for a bit as I don't want to mess it up.
The green moss agate is OUTSTANDING as well.
I tried to buy some like it here in the States,ordered 10 lbs of it with assurance that it was the same but got the same old green agate from India that I already have about 20+ pounds of!!
If you "find" a hunk of it I will gladly pay for it and the shipping??
If that's not acceptable to you I can send Nancy over for a week or so to "organize" your garage for you? LOL
Great job Jack!!!!
