Looks like some very nice stones there and they turned out great! The ones that got dinged a bit can go into another load down the line if you want to get them a bit better.
I would say you are having some really great batches here!

Yep, I noticed that some of the stones got dinged, especially the jasper. I clean and look at each stone when they are changed from one grit to another. I didn't notice the battered edges on the jasper until they came out of the polish. I am guessing I didn't have enough filler?

These are so nice. Especially the unique Moro Bay beach with the traces of blue and the New Mexico/AZ border - they have a pleasant pink color. How fun!

Those are some very pretty tumblies and it looks like you got a really nice shine on them. That blue Morro Bay with the X in it is cool.
