This is the best batch I have tumbled so far. I scanned these into the computer so they are a little dark. Perhaps I will learn how to lighten them later. First picture is Flint Ridge Flint.  St John's Flower Agate from Stones That Rock, Thanks Mary Ann  Thanks for Looking, Tanya |

Nice job! The St. johns looks solid and shiny. Scanning them makes it look as if they are floating.

Great job. Looks like you were very patient with them.

I did hear what you said about patience. That patient part is the hardest thing to do. I have some beautiful stones in both barrels of my 33B. They get ready at different times so as they are ready I use my little 1.5 E to finish them off. It seems to be working. The 15 lb'er is still tumbling.
Thanks for all your advice.

They do look like they're floating. Nice work on the tumbling too!

Wow mom, that flint sure came out nice.... I can't wait to see the St John's Flower Agate in person, that stuff looks awesome.
Hah, love the scanned pictures!!!! Next time try leaving the scanner lid open, that might look wild.
Love ya,
Chris

Thanks All, Next time you come over Chris, we will experiment. That may be the answer. They came out good but the background is darker than I would like. Not sure how to fix that. Perhaps you can figure it out.
Love You,
Mom

Tanya, great batch! I love the colors you've got. And it looks like you have officially joined the "completely addicted" club!  Susan |

Susan, that is an understatement. I love seeing what comes out of those tumblers. It's such a gift. Oh and thanks for looking at my gifts.

I love them! They are really turning out great but the only thing about the scanner is they never show how very shinny they are in person. I suspect they are amazing!
You did another great job!

I wish you could see them Fran. They are very shinny. Course I don't do much better with the camera. I need to work on getting better pictures in the camera.
Thanks, Tanya
