Hey Jack, I remember you showing this batch to us before they went in the drink. They came out nice! You got some nice shaped cabs with gleaming, blaring, glaring shines. Great job on the run! Love seeing all the different material. Whatcha gonna do with 'em?

Great shine. That green moss looks really nice as well as the Koi Jasper. Good job.

Very sweet batch! I really like the green moss! It is not an easy tumble! I love the koi and also the slices in #10. They really have some beautiful patterns in them!
I am shocked the lapis survived in that batch and it looks great!

Hi All ,
Many thanks for your comments
Fran
The lapis (triangle free form ) had been through another vibe batch But I wasent satisfied with it so ran it again from 1000 G
The first time I tried TO this time it was CO
The center (Triangle free form ) is the best polished the other 2 I put in the vibe at 600 and still have shaping marks on and not a good finish either
In the Vibe system I add the softer stones at 400 G or 600G and re runs (all hardnesses) at 1000G ,
Yes I know !!! I should split the hardnesses but I just havent the amount of rocks to do a full batch of soft stuff at the present time
Naturenut
I run a silversmithing class here and sell them to the other ladies for 50P a rock the theory is they make their mistakes on the cheaper rocks before they advance onto more smaller, expensive stones , and I get a few$ as well
There is a few I want to try and "Adrian" them you will notice #10 the green Jasper has a few chips out on the RH side , you will notice there are others in the photos # 2,3,5.10.11
The small Geodes I want to wrap the outside (flat 5 MM bezeleStrip) and turn them into ear drops , or multi drop pendants
Thanks again
