Okay, I am a little dumb about the types of stones, what is the PJ's. Thanks so much for admiring my batch. So far I can't get the shine to show too well. They are really shiny but it doesn't show in the pictures. I am still learning but I sure do wish I knew what they all were.
Help, Tanya

That's a good looking August batch! I think PJ refers to Picture Jasper... the 3 top to bottom on the left in the 3rd pic.

Oh, those are my favorites as well. Course I love any greens and blues, I guess reds and yellows also. Those have a really great shine as well, I just don't photograph that too well. Still learning.
Thanks so Much,
Tanya

I have to say that I have learned so much on this site, it has given me an edge I think. I now have all three tumblers going and have some wonderful stones to tumble and I'm learning to tell when to move them to the next stage. My first batches weren't quite ready to go ahead but now if I just have enough to polish in my 1.5 E tumbler then that is all that gets polished. If I have more then one of the 33B tumblers will do the polish job. Thanks so much for all the help on this site. I may have quit if that had not been available.
