OOOOOH and AHHHH! I spy with my little eye... At least one set of earrings and gogs of pendants. Makes me want to buy more beads. One thing I would suggest and you won't be sorry if you do this, run them for 24 hours in Borax, alot of it (for cusioning) and water to the top of the unit. It will not only clean out the polish stuck in the stone but burnish them, like and ultr fine polish. Trust me on this one  cookie |

Oooooo awesome! Those are beautiful!! I always run mine in borax for a
few hours after each step, anywhere from a few hours to a day. I'd give
it a go, can't hurt.

Yeah, Edog, You can go right back in with them. Just use alot of Borax and/or pellets and lots of water so they are truely being "washed". If you think you like them now, just wait and see.  cookie |

Thanks, all. I will put them in water/pellets/borax, in about 20 min. after I get done looking at everyone else's pictures. I don't know what the green stuff is, it's what the Gem Shop calls saw ends, I bought 5 lbs of saw scrap.

That's great looking stuff, excellent job. I'm having a real hard time identifying most of it... I see what looks like a lot of Botswana agate, maybe some lale superior agate, a piece of tiger eye, and several pieces of pet. wood... do you know what the rest of it is?... sure nice, whatever they are.
