Finished Vibe Batch - Very Pic Heavy!! - Post# 4

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Well ya done good pilgrim!

We can sit here and pick apart all your efforts but for a first timer you can be proud of your end results!

A little tweakin here n there and you'll be in clover!

You'll notice some of the rocks shine more then others and then some don't shine much at all.

The obsidian in particular won't shine when done with other harder rocks.It's about the same hardness as glass.It IS glass!

A perfect example of hard and soft rocks is the tiger eye.If you look at the very ends of it you will see the matrix which is brown in color and softer then the gold part.Within the matrix itself is another example of the same rock being made up of hard and soft materials.The brown is duller then the gold running through it.

Tortilla stone has the same properties. The fossils are soft as opposed to the matrix or brown rock that the fossils are set in.

There are others in the batch that don't belong together but you will learn a LOT from just comparing what you have in this batch.

What ever you do DO NOT give or sell any of these rocks away.Save them in a jar or something so you can always look back at your very first efforts in tumbling.

Be proud,,,,,,,,,, but improve!
