I'm not sure about the oolite. I think that was from a purchase that was supposed to be snowflake obsidian. I think you can see some of it in my "for sale" picture. Either way, great batch! Yep I think the two pieces at 11:00 in your photo are it. I have had some showing up in my batches for the last few months. Chuck

Nice run of material, Chuck. I always like bots, as you know, but I like the rutilated quartz. Not sure I've seen it before.
Neat surprise with the amethyst. I've been surprised once with what appears to be copper in one of my bots. Never know what to expect from those things...which is kind of nice.

Yes, I agree. Mother Nature did her part and you did your part, very well. Nice shine and good pics. Ok, I have a IPad also, so did you take the pics using the IPad?

This set was taken with a fairly high end Nikon P900 camera. I have been using my Iphone 7 plus for some of the pictures I have been posting. The 7 plus model of Iphone has a completely separate lens for shooting closeups though so there is no magnification being done. The Ipads do not have that. You can still get some great pictures with your Ipad but you will need to add a step to crop them for close ups or use the digital zoom which reduces the resolution. Here are some shots straight from the Iphone with no editing done and no zooming in. forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/81716/botswana-agates-tumbled-preformsChuck

Those are all great. The oolites really do it for me.
