Hi Folks, I thought I would post pics of my latest load. I use a 40# Lortone, so I can digest a good amount of crack/rock per load. This load is well balanced size-wise, and contains some carnelian agate, some misc agate and jasper, some pet wood, and several special stones I just picked up at the world famous Richardson’s Rock Ranch in Oregon. They called them “Moroccan Nodules” and I sawed them in half to expose the innards. The sawed stones are on the left: Here are some closer ups...:
To this batch I'll add 6 cups of 80grit and 2 cups of borax, and perhaps a gallon of water. Then she'll turn for a week or so. I then move the load into 2 18# vibrators for 220 and 400, and finally polish with some Raybrite A from Kingsley North.

None of the photos show for me. Just get a circle with a dash in it.

Sorry for your trouble. I posted this answer in your other thread in the technical help area... Any problems linking to Google Photos? Yes. Google Photos does not play nice with hot linking. A working image link (hot link) must go the actual URL of the image and end with an image extension (ie: .jpg .png .gif, etc.) The code for the image you posted looks like this and it is not an image URL. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/gbK_RRrNZVpzwYJ2qhOdbVEuWUElZkAWnj4B92MVqDu-LM74GjO7w_lvw86weiM- nODz8pLWiSc30bo6H1yBEm2bBxVqTLR6V0Z006bHVQuWMOYth4CAo0KQS2UdrcYef5mfcWTSzRTG4DNdtR_5fODovIAlEjxXJyPX_tW7DgAa-ZudsKYkW- YX735aljfLIaf5iKObGJ6wL6OmZo2WUTM37kyGQeFIcJwPIn4Ap_c8hyQqsPvGd42UystZSLvQ-_jytsztb5BJiu7YoycTEpJRymoU7PBQMd9- 0F56Perh3GAju5XKXcj6NaUmfI1x5yQMyM73u5d5yr5CoRmH-7hrvAnDwSI6p0auNcGi2k7pYD2s71M1ix1E8GQbpC1oQl6PRQ-- YToP1N3vbYMoRwX6O7ft9MYnhkpSiYPIVYdwbgLlObH3urf_Kqni3_bp6EtcfUZ-NbXRbU3ExU0FxJY5TDZxkJozt9N9s6hOy0TSXGSDgyoqtiNc0JJXdriwAYYvru_mejLKFNLQdKDlLH0- zR8Mg5gw_9nCYjCUme00C5Q7OFbr_uMp9Pd_3vdJ0kpMyPcClAkNX3mwb_F4iZ0T7hiEElwhA7s4WhluKnkG35h962wi7a_22w2Z2- MmBbxGYAXJpT1KOrKMC5_rFsZsR7nS9qc4vfc7TtmI_eXZJBaAmBzjR0lRPbNlA8eANA=s1250-w1250-h937-no
