The rest of your shininess doesn't scare me. Probably should, but I'm not smart enough to be scared off. Speaking of which, are you going to join the January Lavic tumbling contest?

What are the rocks in photos 6 and 8? I'm not sure they're my favorites (Im not sure which are, maybe the banded ones), but I like them a lot and I don't know what they are.

As usual perfection. Particularly the 'no fracture' material. Seems like the more colorful the agate the more likelihood of fractures. Nothing like a perfect tumble with zero defects. Lots of them here.

Lots of them here. Thanks James. This one is a really killer rock but had a couple fractures open up in the later stages. I don't stress about it at all I just hit them with the 80 grit diamond wheel and send it back to 46-70 for a week. Happens all the time. Chuck

Pretty darn hard to intimidate this group of pros but worth a try. Yes I will be tumbling some lavic soon. Waiting for all the details on how that contest will be judged. Chuck

Rocks and shine like that is precisely the reason I wanted to go into the tumbling hobby! Really nice.
