I've been rolling pretty much the same variety for a while, so I went internet hounding and came up with some new stuff to work into the mix. For those that like pics, you're in luck, I take a lot. Here's some of what I'll be working on in the near future, courtesy txrockhunter , catmandewe , Roger and a couple other sources.
A batch I put together for a fellow member, anxious to see what comes of it. 
If I only had enough time to work on all this, I'd be a happy man.

I know enough to put some of my acquisitions back until I can give them proper treatment. I have a decent stash growing in my basement. Don't worry, you won't be seeing any fire agate in the tumbling contest either.

Nice stash Randy! I'd love to see how those plume agates turn out - I'm only a novice tumbler at best but I don't have *any* luck with plumes. Anywhere the plumes come to the surface just seem to undercut like crazy.

Anywhere the plumes come to the surface just seem to undercut like crazy. Is that Graveyard? Tony slipped that in a box I got from him. I have some in the tumbler now, I guess we'll find out soon what happens. Some other types I've tried with mixed results. I'm hoping it comes out more like this, what I was told was possibly Cady Mountain
This is the slab it came from. I'd love to find more like it. It took a great polish without the undercutting.

This one was the one I spotted as Graveyard point plume agate. I don't know what the other one is in your pictures - some kind of gold moss/plume agate. Beautiful! |

Yeah, first time working with Graveyard, anxious to see how it goes. I'd take more of that gold stuff though, whatever it is.
