Very nice Stefan, you have some pretty pieces in there and
some already have a nice shine going. The real question is ...
did you make it to 10 days? Or was that 2 weeks? ;D ;D
Hahahaha it doesn't get any easier, there's always
something in the next load that's going to be the best piece
you ever did. So are these going into polish for 2 weeks? Do
you know what any of it is, like in the second picture there's
some quartz pieces that look like they have white streaks in
them. Any idea?

A little bit of Mexican lace in there? See some quartz and jasper, should polish up really nice. I think I remember something about 2 weeks in tripoli also. Wow time sure flies by fast  |

for some reason, Stefan, that last photo is a .bmp file and the others are .jpg, could be the reason it cameout differently?
some great pieces in there tho, what kind of polish are you going to use?

Stop picking on me! They went 2 weeks in 60/90
1 week in 220
2 weeks and 1 day in tripoli
and hopefully will go 2 weeks in alum oxide
There is a bunch of agate, some pet wood, a few quartz (rose, citrine ect) and just some odds and ends- Next batch is gonna be all Ocen Jasper- Oh and the BMP is probably what messed things up! I realized it after I started the download- Oh well! I am half way to the 2barrel thumblers- Then I'll always have something in polish!

Those look very promising Stefan,
I like the black on it the middle for the pattern on it. Is it a turritella agate like the other one, or something different?
Looking good all the way around.
Nice job, can't wait to see them finished.

I love the way the light reflects off of the two middle stone in the second picture. I hope those qualities stay after the polish.
