Great job on the Brazilian. It turned out really good. It's amazing how well those scraps tumbled - especially the agates!

Of all the rocks in this post the brazilian is the only one that went through stage one. If I had to guess I would say the brazilian spent about 16-18 weeks in stage one and within the last two to three weeks I ground a couple deep pits out on a diamond wheel to speed things up. Without that grinding I am sure another 6-8 weeks would have been required. Chuck

The BA turned out great..... All my tumbles I do the same, just throw what ever is in the bucket, into the barrels.. Makes great filler... Nice work sir!

Chuck I have to ask, did you give the fordite any special treatment or can it be tumbled with the others?

Very cool tumbles. Looks like a lot of good rocks for small pendants with glue on bails to sell at gem shows.

Great looking tumble run there, likely not now going to the cabin junk pile. Lots of misc. tossed together makes a fun set of pictures too. Thanks for the show.

Wow they all turned out amazing. I’d be super happy with a run like that. I’ll take any of those scraps that you don’t want lol.
And that agate is super cool! Great job my friend.

Thanks quartz and RocksInNJI divided all of those scraps into two bags and shipped them off to a niece and nephew. Been in lock down here for 6 weeks now so figured it would give them something to look at for a bit. Chuck
