These are from two different batches in my 3 lb Thumlers tumblers. I just mixed them together, rather then posting two diffenet threads. The first was a load of Indian Moss agate from india. The second was a load of blue lace agate. The other, "odds and ends" are just some scraps and unfinished rocks lying around from previous loads.

I had to take these pictures in full sunlight to bring out the color. As a consequence, Some of the shine was lost...

They went for about 5 weeks in 60/90, (recharging the grit every 7 days) 1 week in 120/220, 1 week in Tripoli and 5 or so days in Titanium oxide polish.

Thanks for looking!

Most EXCELLENT dude!! Wow, if they lost some shine cuz of the bright sun, I can only imagine how they look in person. Excellent pics too. That new camera is really nice. So what are you gonna do with those? They really are beautiful stones.

Another fine job James.

All I need is pictures. My girlfriend always take all the good ones anyway.

That orange one, I believe, is golden moss agate. You'll find it on ebay from time to time. It usually looks like an ugly brown rock in the rough. The details are very small.

I like the subtlety of the blue lace agate.
