Here are the rest of the rocks and stones that were in my vibe batch.

All of the mexican lace agates, crazy lace, and oodles others came out GORGEOUS!!

Most of the ones I shaped with the Gryphon came out wonderful with the exception that all of the crystalline/quartz structures aided in the cracking or pitting.

All of these are beautiful. There are none of them that I would consider a waste of time.

There are a couple of banded ones that have small hematite bands or pockets. Very Cool!

There are one or two muggle stones. One has a crack in it, but it is still cool. I am trying to remember .... who brought the muggle stones to my attention?

There are a couple of slices (I did Them!!!) of the moss agate ... awesome .... I just love these dark green beauties!!!.

The pictures jaspers .... they are always wonderful. The may not polish up (maybe in time I will learn how) but they are all smooth as a baby's butt and 10 times as pretty.

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

Looking pretty darn god Julie! The African Queen Picture jasper, in my experience, is pretty difficult to polish even on wheels and almost impossible to get past a satin finish in the tumbler. It's just too porous by nature....Mel
