I just finished a batch of unakite that I got from Jugglerguy a few months ago. Some of them got a glassy finish and some are grainy. I am going to put the grainy ones back to 120/220 to see if they can be improved. Andrea The grainy ones

Those look good! The ones that undercut are basically granite. I haven't found a way to tumble them well.

Beautiful unakite. Killer polish. Rob's unakite is fine material.

Based on how well you did on the good ones, the others probably won't improve.

Thanks everyone...This was the first time I did a batch of just one type of stone.

Oh yea. I did do the obsidian by itself. But usually I do mixed batches. Now I have the AZ pet wood by itself except for some filler. I have a whole bunch of tumble material from the Rock Shed that I found while moving that I will be doing more single type batches. I've got a lot more unakite too.

Ok, I was really hoping that you didn't beat me with a mixed load of obsidian. I feel better now.
