Had to get a few in yesterday before the snow started to spit, there are some advantages to having hot water in the garage to fill the water reservoir with, but after an hour the 40 degree temps caught up with the water & it was time to call it quits. I post these here cause all I use to shape these is my saw - but if they are more appropriately categorized elsewhere just let me know - enjoy the pics!! Gene The whole lot, plenty of variety misc materials Plasma agate in the middle Bumblebee - I tested a few smaller pieces in another batch of agates I tumbled/vibed & realized that I will have to run this stuff as it's own batch as it seems to be much softer, almost the same as the piece of Picasso I ran in that batch as well - well shaped & smoothed but no shine using Super Cerium Oxide as my polish - or maybe just wait & actually cab them....on to the pic Really anxious to see how these Kaleidoscope jasper pieces turn out, I suspect the red is going to undercut in the pieces on the left while the green piece is hard like porcelain. And some more carrasite
