17 is my favorite as well. Great tumbles as usual, Jeremy. Wiping the drool off my keyboard... Thanks, Jean! I'll have to find the other half of that "baby Brazilian".......not sure where it ended up. Those things are very cool!

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.
I didn't know Brazilians came with orbs. Was it a very small percentage of the rocks?

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. You can never have too many Jeremy's! At least I don't think you can....... I may have a leg up on the finding, because of my location, but Randy is way ahead in the photography department!

17 is my favorite as well. Great tumbles as usual, Jeremy. Wiping the drool off my keyboard... X3 on #17. That is an amazing piece . The group as a whole, the shine, the photos, everything is exceptional!!! Thanks, fantastic5! Now that we know what #17 is, everyone will be searching for those "baby Brazilians"!

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
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! I have been looking all around to find another piece of that. Not sure I know what I'm looking for. I probably could find it in my tumble bucket, but that's a chore. It's odd looking stuff.

Those all look fantastic. I'm so impressed with the nice finish you are able to get with the plumes. So far everything I have tried to tumble with similar looking features has not finished well.

They are all great, but #24 is amazing.
