I like the tiger eye also. I can't tell from the pics, but did it get a good shine on it, or is it closer to matte finish? I have a little bit but I've been kinda reluctant to try it until I know more about it.

In the first pic in this post, what is the rectangular one with the waves through it? I like that stone. I wish I had a clue what more of the names of them are!

And I really like the ones with the tan and brown orby things in them. Those are cool. I have a couple pieces that are similar, but are gray to white, no brown at all, and I'm told they are Mexican crazy lace agate.

In 18, 19, and 20, isn't that a piece of rainbow obsidian? It has a sort of "hidden" beauty to it that makes you want to look closer. I'd call it coquettish, but then somebody would think I'm weird!!!

PS - how do you like the unakite? I see two nice cabs there. I've got a couple I'm working on now, and I love the way it looks, but I'm finding it wants to pit a bit. Seems to be something little in the surface that's softer than the surrounding material. I can get it to shine, but not without pitting, so far. Just curious.

Hey Julie! Way cool batch!! You gotta be happy. I love the tan ones with all the circles on them. It reminds me of something you would see under a microscope. I really love the green and pink ones. Do you know what they are? It's the 27th? picture down I think. The pic right above the blue ones. For some reason I like it when the rocks are rectangular shaped too. NICE JOB!!! ~Erica

Hi All!!

The pink and green ones are Unakite.

The crazy looking brown one with the little circles is called Turratella. I think that there is another spelling ... Turritella.

The Rainbow Obsidian is not polished correctly as I tumbled it incorrectly.

As always ...
