I feel like I said I'd have these guys ready in March. I should have said May. Anyway I just pulled them out of the 500 grit and snapped a couple of quick instagrams before moving forward. I'm dying to know if I can actually get any kind of polish on these guys in the rotary...Sorry my cell phone lens is so ****ty, it's a samsung stratosphere so if you ever plan to buy that one just don't... Close-up of a few, the rounding/sanding is OK I think for this kind of material in the tumbler? Good rounding on the lapis, yes, the color is really garish in person on a few of these:

It's a slow process, lots of patience. They are coming along great. Fortunate to have such fine stones.
