Congrats to the winners. I had a hard time voting. I thought #2 had a good shine and the best colors. I voted #5 based on the liquid shine but lets face it this was a contest where we had to vote based on nothing more then photos and the photography on #5 was spot on.
Kudos to @shotgunner for all the effort

Congrats to all the winners! I didn't vote for myself, so got zero votes. Shows you how much talent I have for tumbling blankety-blank Lavic, lol. Oh, and lack of photography skills.
I will never again waste my time, grit and electricity tumbling garbage like that - Sorry, Scott - and I need to work on my photog skilz.
It's just that once I signed on, I vowed to follow it to the end.

Congrats to everyone who entered the contest and stuck with a tough tumble. It wasn't the easiest to take a good shine. It was obvious that some pieces were going to do better than others early on. Four of my pieces came from a larger rock that happened to be pretty solid. The yellow material was more pitted than the red/orange jasper, but I wanted to include at least one piece of that. For what it's worth, I liked entry #2. Beautiful tumbles, whomever. I feel guilty because the photography plays such a big part of these things, but it's something I take pride in as much as my tumbles. After months of waiting on a tumble to finish, I didn't mind firing off 50 or more exposures to get what I want out of those three photos.
For those that like the before/after pics. This is what mine looked like pre-tumble.
Thanks for all the work, @shotgunner!

Thanks for the before images! And you are welcome. I'm pleased almost everyone understood this was meant to be a challenge. Not an easy peasy agate. Tougher materials make one think more about their methods. Pretty obvious you guys were up to the challenge. I had fun too!! |

Thank you Mr. Shotgunner. Quick question, where specifically did you collect this rock. I like to make a note on locations when I can.

regardless of the stones, hands down the best photo of the bunch imho... Care to share your photo setup? Well done, thx Scott. |
