I’ll try to get full clean out pictures tonight. I grabbed a couple off the top of the Lot-O, here’s a piece of amethyst. Thanks for looking.

WOW! That is a phenomenal shot of that Amethyst! I love the way the light catches off the internal inclusions - lovely!

Nice job on those Evan. I’ve been itching to get my saws and tumblers going again but between work and travel, my shop is still not done. Soon though.

Nice job on those Evan. I’ve been itching to get my saws and tumblers going again but between work and travel, my shop is still not done. Soon though. It will be fun to see the new shop all set up, no rock dust anywhere, led lighting, floor drains, central vac, etc...

You got a great shine on those Evan
The sodalite is really nice
Those look like Botswana in the foreground and not Brazilians, the baby Brazilians I would say are the ones in the background and with the sodalite
Maybe next time run the Amethyst with gentler companions. See if you can reduce the fractures in them

Maybe next time run the Amethyst with gentler companions. See if you can reduce the fractures in them I wondered about that. About 1/2 of the Amy is prefractured like the one in the top photo. But there are some sweet solid pieces let me tell you. Definitely some surface chipping happened during the final day of polish. I did something that I won’t do again. Wanted the loto a bit fuller so rashly threw in some unprepared petwood in stage 1. One of the smaller pieces broke up and caused havoc. I’m lucky the loto is so forgiving. Thank you for the nice comments everyone!

Nice batch, Evan! And yes, the hooha stones are Botswanas.
