So I have decided to combine all batches, well the ones I have handy and let you all see what I have done. These photos don't include the ones I have sold nor the tiny ones that I have done.    This last picture is of the largest stone that I have tumbled it is almost completely round. I had to put it through the first two grits of two batches and finished it on the second one.  Tami |

Oh Tami ...  drool, what are those green ones, I love them! I mean, I like them all but those green ones are super. Looks like you got some spectacular shine too, great job of polishing. Yeah, shame on you for not feeding us more often with the eye candy ... make a New Year resolution now ... "I will take more pics ... I will take more pics" ;D |

Very pretty Tami, well done. I see that you have also found the elusive "Peenasite". It is rare and very powerful cookie |

I cannot read upside down, so, is that coin from Nunavik?
Is that green aventurine, or mine run emerald? Great looking stones. I would make the long quartz crystals into emerald cut faceted stones. They are nice, long and just cry out to be faceted.

The brite green ones are aventurine the other paler green one are green quartz. The tan and purple banded stone, I have no idea. Yes the clear ones are clear quartz. As for the tiny ones I will see what I can do. I use my scanner for these pictures, because I could not get a good clear picture with my parent digital camera.
Cookie a question for you, which one is the Peenasite?

Okay here are the tiny ones that I either put in as filler or what were left after tumbling the larger rocks. This one contains alot of Amethyst that I put in.  This next one is I think of Hematite  The last two are of mixed batches.   I will have to find the other pieces of Rose Quartz, and when I do I will post those pictures as well. I currently have some move aventurine and rose quartz tumbling. Tami |

Tami the little rocks a re just great!! You may laugh at this but I save EVERYTHING I get out of my tumblers right down to the "sand". I strain it all in different size strainers and end up filling all sorts of bottles with my wares. Great job and thanks for showing us the tuny little beauties too!! Tom |
