My son just pulled out his "best" bahia agates and it's been a real long time since I seen any of these great rocks so I thought I would try to get some good pictures to post on here since its been kinda slow in this section lately. These were done back when all we had were rotary tumblers and no grinders so I can see a few that could benefit from a little time on the diamond wheels then we should run them all through the lot-o to see if we can improve them at all. whole batch (rough was from the rockshed) ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/tumbles/bahia%20agates/DSC08791_resize_zps5c5193db.jpg) #1 ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/tumbles/bahia%20agates/DSC08788_resize_zps7d89488d.jpg) #2 ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/tumbles/bahia%20agates/DSC08785_resize_zps3dca676e.jpg) #3 ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/tumbles/bahia%20agates/DSC08783_resize_zps44d7291e.jpg) #4 ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/tumbles/bahia%20agates/DSC08782_resize_zps19e6d19c.jpg) #5 ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/tumbles/bahia%20agates/DSC08780_resize_zpsbcc48919.jpg) #6 ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/tumbles/bahia%20agates/DSC08778_resize_zpsabf3ce82.jpg) #7 ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/tumbles/bahia%20agates/DSC08777_resize_zps5adca8b1.jpg) #8 ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/tumbles/bahia%20agates/DSC08775_resize_zps2b226b05.jpg) #9 ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/tumbles/bahia%20agates/DSC08773_resize_zps21f13128.jpg) #10 ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/tumbles/bahia%20agates/DSC08771_resize_zpsddbd7dff.jpg) #11 ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/tumbles/bahia%20agates/DSC08770_resize_zps1e84e6ac.jpg) #12 ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/tumbles/bahia%20agates/DSC08769_resize_zpsbda44ea0.jpg) #13 ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/tumbles/bahia%20agates/DSC08767_resize_zpsb9935af7.jpg) #14 ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/tumbles/bahia%20agates/DSC08763_resize_zpsc83c3284.jpg) #15 ![](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/drummondislandrocks/tumbles/bahia%20agates/DSC08762_resize_zpsee18a1d3.jpg) thanks for looking Chuck

Those are cool. I like the ones with the eyes. We have one that looks a lot like your eighth picture. It looked like an eyeball to me (different kind of eye!).

Man you just got to love Bahia agates ...Probably one of the coolest stones to polish with the variety......I see a couple that would be nice cut and cabbed.....John

Great looking pieces! And yes, it's been a while since we've seen any bahia's. Terrific effort.

Beautiful batch! I like Bahia's but when I did my batch, boy some of them took a long time to smooth considering they were river worn to begin with....Mel
