This is the other half of my last load of finished stones. They too, were done in one of my 3 lb tumblers. They are Laguna agates from Chihuahua Mexico and are among the most beautiful agates in the world. Chihuahua Mexico is a hotspring of many different types of beautiful agates. These are medium grade laguna's.

They went for a total of 5 weeks in 60/90. I recharged the grit evey week. They then went into 120/220 for 1 week, 500 for 5 days, 1000 alumina for 5 days and Titanium oxide polish for 6 days.

Thanks for looking.

Man,OH Man

You just keep out doing yourself.
Don't suppose you could 'zoom' up on those a bit. ;D
Those are beautiful!!
I am going to try your formula on the obsidian I have spinning, but the polish is going to be tin oxide.
I'm crossing my fingers, and biting my nails.

Other hobbyists make gems, you make jewels.
