Heres the latest batch from the Loto.More of the same stuff with a few new pieces thrown in.

The whole batch

Fantasia Jasper

A little bit of blue Quartz

Some unknown from Banjo Creek

Montana

Some Dryhead Agate

Crazy Lace

Moss Agate from India

Another Agate from India

A few Misc. that found their way in

Sorry about the focus on some of these.I still haven't replaced the lens on my camera yet so I had to use a telephoto with a close up attachment and it makes the electronics go berserk.

Hope you like the pics.

Amber,I do the rough grind in my rotaries.Then I do 220 for 24 hours 500 for 24 hours then aluminum oxide for the rest of the week.I always start my batches on Sunday.The key is to get them as smooth as possible in the rough grind.
