I went shopping today again...didn't find much. Hubby says it rained really hard again last night, course I wouldn't know, I was busy sleeping, but I decided to go looking because of it. I spent about 3 hours down there today, and for the first hour or so I didn't find a thing, then a few, but I did find some stuff for you guys to drool over a little bit Unknown, black rock with red smears Nice big piece of jasper Yeah....don't have a clue This rock is actually more pink than it looks in picture This is the second one like this I have found...way too cool, this is actually bigger than the first one I found the other side of it This one is a bit bigger than a half dollar is And this is my favorite find for the day, also bigger than a half dollar front back And the other stuff I found This agate is about the size of a quarter, maybe a bit bigger That's all for today...............................

This is 2 - 1/2 weeks in rough grind, 1 week in fine, 1 week in pre-polish, and 1 week in polish...The next ones to come out will have been in longer in rough grind... All these rocks are about and inch or less, so small stones. The first one is the biggest out of the batch, and it MIGHT be a little bigger than an inch, I didn't measure it Very interesting agate This is one of my favorites to date. Has some banding on left side as you can see, and I found it pretty much the way you see it, I just sent it through the steps to get a better "feel" of the agate This rock is 1/2 jasper, and 1/2 agate, the banding in the agate portion is almost the same red as the rest of the agate Another green agate with crystal center This one is a round ball almost, found just like this in the pit, another I just sent through the steps This little one has an eye in the upper left corner, the eye itself is clear Not sure if you can see this or not, but this little piece of quartz has what looks to be a spider or mosquito inside it, I can make out the bugs legs inside A little jasper A little quartz This one is just blood red, the entire things looks like this Okay, this is what came out, that hasn't gone back in. The next batch will have been in longer like I said
