This is my latest load, mostly amethyst with a few agates and some of Banjo's green quartz. The green quartz is much much prettier, the pic didn't pick up the color too well. Sorry I don't have a measure in there but the rose quartz on the top is about 1.5 inches. Cher  |

Oh wow, that amethyst looks great. Did it take awhile to get that large one on the far right polished. I have one partially done about that size but its taking forever.
Amethyst is my fav, I gotta get some more started now so I can get a batch all the way finished. Great shine and color on that

Yes, the bigger ones were in polish coarse for at least 4 weeks before they were done to my liking. I'm really happy with this batch, going to be very sad when it's all done. I like amethyst too, and enjoy seeing it go through the process.

Love the amethyst! Wonderful deep purple and great shine!
I'm curious about what those agates are also.

Cher-
Nice little batch there. I couldn't help but notice those little lakers hiding out amidst the amethyst.

*smile* Yeah, there's usually a few in every batch. I don't care if they are small or not, they are so pretty. Someday those small ones are going into a table top.
