The lavender layered flint is cool. That stuff was fairly common and unique. The white dendritic stuff was the hardest and largest cobbles i found @ Zapata. They are all impressive Carlos. and your shape and finish. I don't think there is a more agate diverse place; it has to be rated very highly.

As usual Carlos, awesome rocks with superb finish!! But your grammar dude...... "I sawed" ?? And then Sir James added his "common and unique" quip. Like jumbo shrimp ? LOL, just funning you all. I read this for the rocks and fun, not an English lesson. Please keep them coming

I recycle the polishing mud from one tumble to the other. I think it helps achieve a better polish.

The first two look like dinosaur eggs. Or maybe I watched Jurassic Park too many times. Brilliant shine on all of them. Every time I see rocks like that I want to buy another tumbler.

As always, a veritable feast for the eyes. Those mosses have such depth it is sick. Your shineology is unsurpassed. That last one is a real unique mix!

Panamark, absolutely no offense taken pal. Incidentally, I do saw and shape 99% of my victims.
