Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I have posted photo's and I did not mean to show the nicest stones in the smallest photo's ... so I am going to show the last photo one more time to give you a better idea of what they are. I also have some individual photo's of my favorites. Ready ...

These are Northern Mexico Agates and they turned out the best!

This is Casa Grande Agate and the coloration in this stone is gorgeous.

This is the back side of the upper photo.

More Casa Grande agate ... I love this material.

This is Coyamito Agate, another one of my favorites.

Well ... ? What do you think?

More photo's coming ...

Hi everyone,

Cher - These were only in the tumbler for a week and a half (I love the vibes - they are sooooo much quicker). Then it set for two and a half months and then went into polish (I was in pre-polish when my tumbler's motor went on permanent vacation in November). I polished them for two days and I was happy with the results!

Hope this helps,

John

Do you go collect them yourself or have a secret source. smile That's ok if you do, I'm sure everyone has a secret of some kind or another. Cher

They are both unique and beautiful. Great shine on those. Thanks for sharing. Tami
