If I had to guess I would say I have run about 400 batches through the lot-o. I am not easy impressed after all of those rocks but every batch still has a few that wow me. I am adding 4 pictures of the one Botswana agate and it looks even better in person. I really should see if I can capture it better in video. 1 (druzy pocket goes through two sides) 2A 2B 3 4 5 6A 6B 7 8 9 10 The best for last (4) pictures all same rock And the filler rocks Thanks for looking Chuck

I agree with your choice of the best rock, but number four is really nice too. Love those orbs.

Botswanas are easy to love and some are so special that they stand above most rocks. For jewelry maybe not, but for just having a rock to have, hold, and love, give me a Botswana.

Wow these are exquisite stones and excellent photos! Would the piece in the first picture count as a polyhedroid?

I agree with your choice of the best rock, but number four is really nice too. Love those orbs. I noticed that one still has a small flaw on one side so I was going to quickly grind it and re-tumble it. After looking close though I can see some cool banding that looks like it goes all the way through so now I am thinking I will also cut it in half. I just want to be careful to maintain the orbs on the outside. Stay tuned. Chuck
