You got far better material than I did two years ago. Your stuff looks pretty large. My nodules were about 1.5-2". I've been holding off on photos of cut material I tumbled, and I guess I'm glad I did. I had far more duds than you did. Well done with that stuff.

Out of curiosity, did you buy from Ana or the husband?

Those are gorgeous! (love)

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Yes, I bought from both Luis and his ex-wife Ana. I bought his discounted material and a grab bag from Ana. Both expensive but I’m happy with what I got. It was on my wish list. I also bought some less expensive rough form a dealer just down from Ana at Desert Gardens that was more seam material. Those are the photos with quartz centers. Some of those were good and some have gone into the tumbling bucket.

I ended up buying grab bag type stuff from Ana, but there were no guarantees. I just decided to treat myself and see what happened. I didn't deal much with Luis...Ana was the person I dealt with most. She was great. It's kind of fun hearing about folks dealing with the same dealers. Small world kind of thing.
