Now that is a big batch of pretties! Fantastic shine on them and how great that you can collect it all yourself!
About how long did this batch run in the first grit?

Looks like rock candy too me! - very sweet batch.
Pic's 19 and 20 are great photo's - maybe they could be used for a "Rock Calander", or a mural, or a van wrap or - - -
Thanks for posting

Frane, these were in the rough grit for 6 weeks. Finished in CO and burnished for 2 hours in 20 mule team borax.

nice tumble-- a lot of variety in that area -- last time I went to Nova Sotia, I was not into rocks, This gives me a good reason to return!

Nice polish on a nice assortment.
Did you make it to the NS Gem & Mineral Show in Parrsboro this weekend? There were about 30 vendors this year. A few vendors were pushing our local rock along side the beautiful imported material. It was nice too see, expensive though!
