I love my wife! Last week I finished a 10 week batch and I had the dinning room table all spread out with the different specimens grouped together by color etc. (admiring my work) and then SHE decided to put all of those in display jar of previously tumbled stuff. (She can only put with so much rock stuff! I had planned on taking the pics this weekend of the most recent batch. So here are the two batches combined and then the new stuff separate. Enjoy looking! Closer up. Rainbow Wood from AZ I Collected this near Payson AZ last winter. I think it is called Zebra Agate, It really has nice colors and patterns. I have a few slabs that I am going to cab, it is a little soft but we will see. A little closer Top = Rainbow wood, right = Antelope Jasper, bottom = White and blue gray Chalcedony More of the Chalcedony By prerounding some of the bigger pieces on the 40 grit wheel they come out nice and round and take fewer runs in the 60/90. Thanks for Looking! Kenny

Hi Kenny, That is a beautiful load. I love the way you have rounded the larger pieces. Some of them look like cabs. Tanya

Nice batch! Your shapes are wonderful. I need to get a grinder for doing that instead of the edge of the tile saw blade.
