Here's a couple batches that just came out. Hope you enjoy them. Steve First, pet wood potpourri. Lots of different stuff. A bunch of these are from Curt. These came out real nice.  Bloodstone and brazilian agate. Mrs. Rocklicker really liked the bloodstone. She likes green stones a lot. These took a real nice polish too.  Some brazilian agate I tumbled along with the bloodstone. They are small nodules cut in half or thirds and tumbled, along with some slabs. The skin polished up real nice and kept a lot of character. I try to throw in a few of these in every batch. I am still trying to figure out a way to tumble the ones with crystal centers safely.  |

I really like the pet wood too. Especially the stuff that is more white, looks like yoy got a real nice shine there.

My favs of the batch are the pair of brown-reddish agatized wood pieces in the first pic (8 o clock).

They are all nice, but I enjoy a good Texas pet wood tumble.

Nice batch. The bloodstone is my favorite. I also struggle with consistently getting the crystal on agates remain smooth and take a polish. I think technique takes a back seat to the quality of the crystal when tumbling these agates. I'd love to be able to stabilize 'em.
