I agree with herchenx. They remind me of Bahia agates too. That's a good thing though . Your going to have a great batch of rocks. Chuck

Good looking rock and interesting to see material from other lands. No telling what agates they may find over there.

Nice load. where are the finished pics? They'll come out of the 500 either tonight or tomorrow, so we are probably looking at the end of next week before we get to see the end results, but I'll be sure to post the pics when I'm done.

Just a quick update- most all of these are still in the initial grind, I'm trying to be more patient to achieve a more complete tumbled look/end result, which should result in a better shine - I've just completed some from another batch so I will see if my patience pays off with these, and much more of this batch is preshaped so hopefully that helps out too!! Update pics soon!

Nice variety of colors shapes an patterns. Patience is the key to success in this hobby. I wouldn't rush those either. You have a nice batch on your hands...err in your barrel.

That Bumblebee is crazy stuff. Never seen anything like that before! Great Chinese agates too. Superb variety!
