Plumes bloodstone moss and brilliant shine are my favs. The polish is perfect. Especially the plumes w/one out of focus. Nice big load a beauties.
How long did you run them?

What a big load. And some really beauties in there. Got a nice shine on most of them. Must have been a lot of work. I wouldn't have put them on those rough pavers ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) Thanks so much for sharing them with us!

That green and white megalodon toooth is really unique. I've never seen anything like that before. ![](http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb346/1act/aug30005_zps1cc30647.jpg) I really love your big tumbles. Very well down!

However long it took, it was well worth it. I admire the patience that goes into tumbling.

Thanks for the replys . I think most of this was started in dec . Had lots of deep pits and cracks so they spend a long time in the 60 90 . The lager green pcs came from India , that one has to go back the chip happened in the polish . Now the white green also from India some took a shine but the stones are grainy . If anyone knows the proper names please post. Well on to the next batch .

Great posting! Is 36# what you started with or what you wound up with? Very nice finish and variety. Those greens looked great. Great job, looking forward to the next batch.

Some really nice looking stones... I'll take a stab at some of the names, but never 100% on them so here goes... Green/White + India green tree agate caramels and banded stones look to be lake superior agates clear with light green - montana moss agate #12 would be moss agate #14 looks like bloodstone #15 & 20 are Montana Agates (Opaque with light brown stains are sometimes a combo of pet wood & montana agate.) #21 pet wood probably from AZ anyways thats as far as I got b4 I started second guessing myself so if I'm wrong some1 will step up with the right answers!! All in all still very nice looking stones!!! ![(mario)](//storage.proboards.com/1258779/images/mGJmVlxHVeOgRYJIvtrB.gif)

Heroic tumble! Great finishes! Single load? Multiple barrels?
