My daughter had tumbled some agates in one of those National Geographic tumbler. *blech* I swear the grit embedded itself in the rocks, you could see black specks in the quartz, it's awful. She asked me to re-tumble them so I went out and busted up some of my local stuff and one chunk of green quartz that I got from Banjo. This way I'll know for sure the agates in there are hers.
Anyway, while doing this I busted open this very plain looking rock and found a neat surprise. I wish I had taken a picture of the rock before I whacked it, you'd never believe it was like this inside. It had some faint lines on the outside but nothing to give the idea it looked like this inside.
Close up, had a hard time getting a good pic but the webbing is really green, it's so pretty.
Here's a couple pieces of jasper with some nice swirls in them.
Sorry it's not such a good pic, it's gorgeous.
Next two, before and after pics.
It's like pink agate inside, really neat, very opaque.
Here's the whole load, I think it's going to be really interesting and very colorful. Hope I have the small Lortone fixed when this is ready for 120/200. I have the lakers, unakite, green quartz, red jasper, yellow jasper w/ hematite bands, and some idon'tknowite ... just a fun load.
Thanks for looking, hope you don't mind but I was bored so thought I'd take pics.
