Here's a few pictures of some lake superior agate tumbling rough I got my boys for Christmas. I have purchased quite a bit of these from various vendors but have never had this good of quality before. These pictures were taken after the first week of 60/90 and already show a lot of potential. (shown wet to get a better idea of what they will look like in about 6-8 weeks thanks for looking Chuck

Wow! Where did you get that rough? It's about the nicest I've ever seen, except when you can hand select from a bin. I see an Amethyst Quartzy and maybe a Skip-an-Atom, and a LS Moss. Neat!

Potential? ;D lol.... those are beautiful!! Banded agates got me started in this hobby (Botswanas), those look like Bots except for a different color and those are shaping up really nice!
