Pretty! Seeing them backlit on top of a glass table made me think they would make a beautiful table top, jamesp, May get some glass lamp shades and epoxy to the inside Jan. Or a mason jar pendant light that is so popular now. Just paint glue to a point up the jar and fill it with tumbled garnets, let dry and dump. It would create the garnet red light district, perhaps attracting rockhounds instead of johns

Did you previously post some on the forum, jamesp? They would look pretty with some garnets in them. (Roxanne...you don't have to put on the red light...lol)

They look like they will come up nice James. Garbage in Garbage out is so true in our hobby. It takes lot of time effort and money to polish these rocks why bother doing it to inferior stuff. "the fish John West rejects that makes John West the best" was a line used in an Ad. It seems to apply so much to us.

Tempting to cheat in that area. Great line pauls. appropriate...
