Happy first of May, all!

here is a plate of mainly "do overs" and a few new items.

here are some stubborn pieces of jasper that i must have tried to get a shine on for at least three tries, the CPP got a better shine than anything i'd tried before INCLUDING the Titanium Dioxide (also a piece of mexlace)!

some agate pieces

here are two slices of Lake Superior Agate that Cher sent me, the one directly below the wavy brown brazilian and immediately to the right of it. i have a few more pieces coming up in the next few batches, too. nice rock!

and below is some bloodstone and some bubblegum agate, i think i may saw these up and DO'EM AGAIN!

thanks for looking!

Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!

The red mexican lace looks an awful like the rosetta lace I'm tumbling right now. There's some differences, but they do look awful similar.

What's that one on the bottom right, top pick? It looks so blue to me and right above it, kind of clear and purple. That moss agate is really pretty too. Beautiful job!! Cher

Purdy, purdy, purdy - love the last picture, and the lace, and the agates, and the... hell - I love them all - I'm a purple freak - I could eat em all up! I would love to have some purple stuff to tumble, mine all seem pretty drab colored.

Sometimes the "do overs" are a real surprise. I have to ask you this. Do you always have at least one piece of "lace" in every batch?LOL Tom
