Hi Folks,

Here are pics of my latest batch of tumbles. As usual, the batch consists of a variety of materials. The only thing different with this batch is that I did not have an fine grit (500) or pre-polish, so I ran the medium grit (120/220) for 4 weeks, followed by two weeks in Aluminum Oxide polish. For the most part, the shine came out pretty good.

Agates

Crazy Lace

Various Stuff

Ocean Jasper

Royal Sahara Jasper

Blue Lace and Blue Chalcedony

Merry Christmas
From Frosty

I would guess that middle piece would be the Dryhead.

I myself like the Sahara, check that, love the Sahara, and the fact that the whole batch is served up on a paper plate just makes me want to take it home! It's like pot-luck for peopel who tumble...

And would you look at the colors on that Snowman Agate! I bet that thing would slab up quite nicely!

Now out (Aug 2013)!!!!! 2012 Agate Index: Vol 4 - Northern States: See thread in cabochon section!!!!!
