I got this Agate in trade from Sandsman1.
I love the depth of some of these, and what I did different than usual was a 1000 grit step after the 500 and before the Titanium oxide.
I could have run them a week longer in 60/90, but as most of us know "Patience is a virtue... for other people" We just like shiney stuff. ;D

Thanks for looking!
I'm going to Scotland!!
til the 10th of May.
Did Al Gore install the internet over there for those folks too?
If he did, I may stop by the post every so often, between rain showers ;D

That will keep be busy for awhile. I'll post pics of the Obsidian when I return, Thanks Kim!

You are right about the depth in some of them. I have to agree with the others those are perfect wrapping stones. Tami
