All I know it that these are agates. Nothing big, just wanted to show ya. OHHH yah I put them on the scanner and I came out OK. thanks for looking momma  |

Momma, those look nicely shaped to me. What would you like them to look like before moving on?

Thank you Cookie and Cher. I would really like to get rid of the cracks. They still have some cracks on them on the outside. But at the same time they are reeally small compared to what they looked like before I put them in. And with only one barrell Im affraid to move on. Might contaminate the barrell.
Thanks again

Hi Momma,
Those are looking good ... some stones with cracks will always have cracks ... I tried to get rid of a load with cracks quite some time ago (when I still had my rotary tumbler) and by the time the cracks were gone ... so was the stone.
Enjoy and have a great weekend,
John

Looking good- And some cracks just won't go away! I only have one barrel so I feel your pain- I spend more time cleaning the barrel between stages- I wash it 3 or 4 times just to make sure I got everything!
