Gorgeous! I think I agree with your favorite of the bunch but they're all fantastic. I'm a sucker for anything with banding or fortifications...  |

The last one is my favorite, too. I wouldn't have recognized it as a tube agate. Thanks!

I could be wrong Pat on ID as tube agate. I found a slab on ebay that I'm certain is same material and seller has it listed as tube agate. no Personal knowledge to go off of so its solely based on assumption ebay seller has correct ID. this is picture of slab on Ebay.  |

They are all pretty, but that last one is gonna be amazeballs when it's polished! It's got everything going for it, including druzy.  |

Tough to make a suggestion on improvement there, I’m pretty sure you’ve mastered the dremmel then tumble method! I’m curious why you go with the dremmulel tool instead of grinding wheels? thanks! started with a dremel bc that's all I had at the time. stuck with it in part bc I wanted to get better and challenge myself to make cabs that are comparable to ones made with proper equipment. that and the cost of new equipment is not really in my budget. not many used deals to be had around here either. so I keep on working with the dremel while keeping eye out for good used equipment deals. |
