Wow amazing shine on what has to be some of the most unusual agate i've seen! I'm amazed that those pits and vugs don't carry so much grit with them to the next stage! You must take great care in preping the rocks for each cycle! Is this stuff from Mississippi gravels or do you find it all over the place? Some of it looks like it could be Missouri Lace agate, some of it looks like agatized pet wood, and some of it even looks like it could come from the Lake Superior Agate region!!! Amazing stuff. Thanks for sharing!

Some beautiful eyes and banding in those shiny agates. Keep it up.

Thanks all..Stefan ,everything was collected on the creeks here,mostly in Mississippi....And I also wash the agates with a high pressure nozzle on my hose..I end up as wet as the rocks ,but they are clean....JOhn
