Well, these are pretty even if they are a long way from being ready for the next grit. These are all from Michael John and most are seam agate or some from agate road. They have been in rough since May 30. It will be at least 2 more weeks before any are ready to advance and then the rest will have to run 4 or 6 weeks more before they are ready. Thought I would share anyway since it is a little slow in tumbling. (I might have some out of the polish later today.)

Thanks for looking!
Fran

When you say "in the rough", you are referring to the 60/90 grit in a rotary? Thanks for posting! Erica

Here are some pictures of the cuts before I tumbled them Fran

Oh wow, what a difference! The pre-tumbled versions look like you could dip them in barbecue sauce and eat them

I really like seeing photos of the stones before, during & after tumbling, so thanks again for posting these! Erica

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
