The loto finished up today and this was an interesting batch. Had some new stuff in here we have not done before. whole batch pudding stones Montana agates Green tree agate Coral and agate mix Jaspers Dark green jaspers Some pastels (two small blues are Michigan Leland blue. Peach is a Michigan beach rock we found) Some nice purples Still tumbling this flint ridge material from the early summer trip. I really like this beach find but it must be pretty soft because it was way bigger before spending the week in the loto And a few more saw scraps from the cross project Thanks for looking Chuck

Nice mixed batch Chuck. The one spotted beach rock is pretty cool. Even though it was soft it looks to have shined up nice. I always like your puddingstone as well. You have a little bit of everything in this batch. Thanks for posting Bill

Thanks Bill. The pudding stone is not on the top of my list for tumbling but we have an endless supply so some ends up in every batch. It also outsells everything else we tumble.

I like the drop cuts from the cross project. Looks like fun jewelry stock.

Great batch, I especially like the flint, nice patterns & colors. Isn't it funny how we all like to do mixed batches with lots of variety, but then we separate them into piles by type.

Great results there - love the flint ridge, and the "scraps" look great!

Beach find looks like feldspar porphry. The white spots are feldspar phenocrysts. An interesting and little-known lapidary material.

That Flint Ridge rock that you singled out is really cool. Nice batch as always.
