7 months ago...I dumped a buncha small lakers in to the small tumblers.....added some grit.....and let'em go...adding grit when I remembered to do it....then I was gone all summer long, and the guys did it, when they remembered. so no real system here. They had 2 weeks in 220, 1 week +4 days in 500, and 6 days in polish. The lighting in here is not so good at night, but they have a KILLER shine on them

Some are no bigger than this little guy now...
Try to wrap this one Randy!! ;D

This eye agate survived....has 2 eyes on it

And I cannot believe that this chunk of Hematite survived tumbling with the agates, but it did.......Hematite never survives with Lakers....not 4 me anyways.....

Ok...well thats all for now........should have some more in a few weeks maybe....
Thanks for looking
Marie

Thanks guys...
Nate...as far as tumbling goes....umm....all I got is lakers, hematite....some quartz.....I just grab a handful of lakers, or 2 or 3.....toss'em in there....throw in a few pieces of this and that's, and stick the lid on it. I don't grind them, or mess with them in any way, what happens in there, is what happens! LOL I use them for pictures frames mostly, so worrying about what I put in there...not gonna happen...I got cabbing to do, and jewelry to make! hahahahaha
It's funny, when I 1st started tumbling, I could NOT wait for them to come out...now i dont worry bout it, it's fun to see what's left after all these months of running!! fun to see some of those purtees I haven't seen for several months! hahahahaha
Thanks again!

Hey Marie, how much noise does your 12 pounder make when running a new batch? I'm thinking about moving up to a 12 pound, but right now I never have enough stone of the same or close enough mohs to run together. Only maybe 5 or 6 pounds max. Maybe I should run some of my big stuff in one???

Marie, that is a nice looking batch and with hard materials, even changing grit weekly, it takes forever! I know what you mean though, I have gotten very, well, lax about checking my barrels. I am going to have to make myself do that this weekend.
