Very nice! When you get them finished and find neat things to do with them, tell us about it, because I'm tumbling some Botswana agate chips and have no idea what to do with such tiny little things when they are done.

You sure you want another week in coarse? I think the shapes are great, and you don't want to lose too much volume...

Stefan ...
Are you dingy ... who in their right mind would put those in the trash?
Are you feeling okay? Fever? Shakes? Sweating? Dizzy? Regular?
We don't throw rocks in the trash ;D As a matter of fact some of us have been known to dig through trash to get to the rocks ;D
Enjoy,
John

Ok I put them back in the 60/90 cause they are a bit pitted and I want them to smooth up a bit more- But now I'm begining to worry- Maybe I'll go to 120/220 today. The Auamarine ones are also the Ocean Jasper- There was one good sized piece that color and I think the chips flaked off it (I can scan it in if you want to see it) Oh And I never would throw them out! No just ask my wife- There are way too many rocks in this house! (know what time it is when your house is full of rocks ?- Time for a bigger house!)

Ocean jasper, no matter the size is just cool! Thanks for getting a better pic. Be interesting to see them finished.

thanks for the info, I had never heard of it befor I seen you all talking about it. Once I looked it up I was hooked ;D Big or small I can't wait to start a batch. Heres a stupid question, Is it better to call and order in person? I have just placed on-line orders. Can't wait to see your next stages ;D

Hmmm I do not order anything online- I get all my info online- but always call in my orders. for some reason I need to talk to a person when plunking down money- Plus I always have a gagillion questions- Funny thing is that half the time I order (not rocks but other things) The phone rep will have a better deal than what is online (my last metal detector was $10 cheaper than offered online)
