this was another gaggle of odds and ends and do-overs, the really nice carnelian agate was some WarrenA had sent me.. ;D

(Warren, i have another small handful coming up behind this batch too.)

this batch was in 60/90 for 2 weeks, one week in 220, 2 weeks in 600 (no recharge) and two weeks in Aluminum Oxide. i am really liking the extended polish cycle even if it's hard to wait for.

thanks for looking!

Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!

Super Job KD!
the shine is superb.
I have not yet had the patience to wait 2 weeks in Aluminum Oxide, Cheers to you!
You show that it really pays off.
The photos are nice and don't have the yellow cast that most indoor photos have, nice job again!

Those are some great stones -- nice material, plus amazing tumbling job and shine. That extended polish seems to really be working wonders for you. Kind of a bad thing really, since Lord knows my patience is already stretched to the limit

Wow, those turned out great, really nice shine.

I honestly tried to give the two week polish a shot with my last batch......made it to ten days. The problem was I started looking at too many pictures of nice shiney rocks on this board and I just couldn't wait any longer ;D

Oh well, it's going to be a long wait all the tumblers are running at the 60/90 stage.
