Well, Jack, I'm glad you decided to post photos of your batch. Very, very nice. Love the agate (?) fingers, especially, can visualize them wrapped for earrings. Sweet. Susan

Awesome load Jack, there's some very nice pieces in there. I'm curious too about the pieces in the last pic, those are way cool.

Looking good Jack. Nice shapes and shine. You even managed to get a reflection of yourself in the stones, just like photos from James.

Hi All,
Thank You all for your kind remarks and compliments.
The long stones are a stone I got 1/2 price in a local aquriam shop they sold it to sit at the bottom of a home aquriam !!! it look nice had a hard feel to it so I had a go.
The roundish shinny one is a local flint.
I think its Rainbow Jasper please corect me if im wrong
As for the shine thank James it is his system i'm trying
And now I'm off for 2 weeks holiday to the lakes (Keswick)
Yours,
Jack ,

Hi Jack,
I'm glad I was able to help. That's my aim here at RTH. That's one hell of a load you got there! I really like that black flint. Those rainbow or sunset fingers are really cool too. Nice job!
Thanks Jack,
James
