I have mentioned before that I keep a few rocks from every batch to go into my personal collection. If I had to guess I would say there are about 40-50 pounds that have made the cut out of about 1,200 pounds of finished product. Some make the cut based on being flawless specimens and some make the cut based on pattern and eye appeal or even just rarity of the material. I want to photograph a bunch of them to create a really cool album so as I get them done I'll also try to post them here. I'll photograph them all over time but some of these will be removed from the favorites basket to make room for newer better tumbles. 1 2 3 4A 4B 5 6 7 8 9 10 Thanks for looking Chuck

Taking #3 and #4 out may be a felony. I wouldn’t do it😉

Another great group Chuck! 3, 6, and 7 are my top faves from this group! Australian dendritic opal, pet wood and chipboard rhyolite. The chipboard does not take a great shine but is neat stuff. Chucl

Whoa! I did a serious double take on #3. For just a second I thought you tumbled Dino bone. Great results, in any case. Beautiful.
