Here is the batch that may redeem me. I'm rather proud of it - the picture quality is not so good, I blame the lighting as I'm trying to do this at work and I'm without sunshine. I'm not sure what some are - feel free to enlighten me if you have any idea. Here is the whole batch - sorry forgot a reference piece.  These are Brazilian agates.  A close up of my favorites   These are my mexican lace - might try a pendant wrap with the triangle one   My daughter's favorite stone  Not sure what these are but they're very nice & creamy.  This one was what looked like a geode - polished up nicely on the crystal parts.  This one is yummy orange - don't know what it is  This one is nice - looks like some gold?  I like the color & banding on this one  My ninja mask  My high heeled shoe  All comments, good & bad are welcome. Don't remember the recipe, but some are do-overs Thanks for looking |

WTG Tweet, beautiful shine! Guess you must have learned
some patience along the way. *smile* Hard as it is, you really
did a great job there. Are you already chomping at the bit for
the next load now?

I have no more coarse grit  , but I do have another mixed batch going in 60/90 with what I could scrape out of my jar - some are do-overs as well - I'm looking forward to getting some more rocks from my rock club collecting expeditions. My first one is on April 30th. I have some indian agates as well as some tree agates that are destined for my next batch - I also have a few pieces of pet wood that I'm going to polish up for my dad. |

Those look really nice and I love the detail closeups. Hopefully someone will have some input on ID with the close ups to help with that.
