Sometimes the tiny ones are so pretty, it is great to take them all the way through. Sometimes, I when I use them as filler and they are looking good, I will set a batch aside until I have enough tinie's to run to the end by themselves.
Great job!

Or you can fill a crystal vase with them, and set them on a window sill where the sun can reflect off of them, (My wife's favorite use for them). Don

thanks , for all of your comments !
i actually have a large ziploc bag full , that i have been filling up for a while . pulling out small peices before last grit stage .
that would probably polish very well , in a 3-lb barrel .
i figured that i would get to it someday .
i'm sure that i will keep adding to it .
i get lots of small shards from my 12&15 lb barrels .
