The tumblers have been going Non Stop since winter began and finally had time so I pulled a batch today and decided to take some pictures. Here are some Apache Tears and a Mixed batch.

Beautiful batches Duke. Excellent shine! I like+++!
Those Apache Tears are some of the nicest I have seen. Was all that done in rotary tumblers, or did you shift to your vibe(s) for some?
Your video presentation is also very good+++

I think I use too much bright light on the tears cause they don't look as Black as they really are. Look at the Video at 1:13 Sec in, I turn off the overhead spot light and the Tears get Darker. Lesson learned I guess.

Nice work Bob, and I like the video presentation. It all looks great, but I like how you snuck in that piece of Lavic in the first still photo. Very pretty stuff.

Yeah, I figure you would like that one pretty good! I hope I did ya proud. There was a bunch of TLC that went into all of those. As you can see, they are about 98% Pit Free and many were introduced to MR. Cab King to get them that way. It's alot of work that's for sure.
