This is part 3, of a 3 part series, The Others...... Some are self collected from Marfa, but most are trades with Other RTH Members. San Jacinto Agates & San Jacinto Pet Wood will be the other threads. All of the tumbles are run in 30 SIC, until ready for the Lot-O. In the Lot-O, they run 2 days in 120/220 SIC, 2 days in 600 SIC, 2 days in Pre-polish, 2 days in Micro-alumina polish, and burnished for a couple hours in Borax. Borax is mixed in each batch after the 1st stage. Thanks for looking! 1. Graveyard

Your Singleton material is coming out looking great! It's a bugger to tumble. And your Graveyard looks nice too. Working with some tough ones, with plumes. Great variety of tumbles, well done!!!!
For those left wondering, Jugglerguy rockpickerforever illusionist txrockhunter fantastic5, #17 is Brazilian agate. One of the 'baby Brazilians' I got from Riverbend Lapidary. I posted a couple last month with those eyes, except in brown.
Some of them have funky rinds on them. These and Jeremy's had eyes. When they are tumbled long enough to get through the rind most of the way, they leave some of the orbs in crazy patterns. The one on the left is what I was hoping for. The one on the right was a smaller piece, so I couldn't run it as long. Jeremy tumbled his to perfection, of course. I like it in blue! Wish I had another bucket of those.

That is some awesome material, Randy. You and Jeremy make a great find, tumble and photograph team!
ETA - Riverbend has some nice stuff, too. Can't forget about them. Say, isn't he another Jeremy? Coincidence? I think not! At least he is not another Dave, lol. |

Me Too! Hopefully Randy Garage Rocker will chime in and identify it. Couldn't swear to it, but it is probably a piece of pet wood from George West. With a nasty rind. I could be wrong.
ETA- at second glance, I'm not sure

Nothing wrong with rocks, Randy. (They don't have attitudes, lol. And they can be enjoyed by all, not just guys. Ha!)
Ummm, I think if you stick to rocks, you'll get into less trouble. I love youse guy'ses photos of rocks!

Whatever it is, it's hard! I think that thing rolled for 3-4 months! Yes, probably could have done a little grinding, but I'm too lazy. Very cool material! |
