Now that's a nice batch of Rios! Nice job.
Any problems with tumbling them? What percentage didn't make the cut to run to the end? What kind of time for the coarse stage?
Thanks for taking the time to take and share all those photos! Love all the close ups.
If you have one more close up in ya, I'd like to see (from your first picture) the red & white mottled looking rock - 4th row in from the right and 4th piece up from the bottom. If you have the time.
Thanks again for the Rio show!

Thanks guys. Frist James I think it must be in the 30 to 40 range of rio I and about 10 plus of the wood. The rio took a very long time in the 60/90 must of been 4 charges and weeks too long to remember . I am the worst at taking notes. I have 40 lbs that I got from Sabre52 that I will try to take notes when I start them. right now I have some nice big pieces of wood I got from sabre52 in 7 15lbs tumblers could only fit one or two pieces per thumblers . And I will take a photo of the one you requested captbob .

Rios are some card rock. Dense and tough.
Heck of a job.

Nice work! Love the rocks, love the shine. And many of those are some seriously big tumbling stones. The close-up shots are killer!~ -don
