Here are a few that I enjoy. The photography is not as good as your guys, sorry about that. It’s mostly granite with a banded chert piece and two I’m not sure of an ID but they look cool.

I think it's cool that you posted! I like the crystalline caves! EDIt - can't seem to get my text out of your quote box..

Hi, Grant,

A hint on getting your text out of the quote box. When you quote someone, before starting to type, click on BBCode below where you are about to start typing. Then click after the code for end quote. This will put the cursor outside the quote box. Hit enter, or return, you will now be below the quoted text. Start typing.

You can click it back to preview mode if you want, but it's not really necessary.

Hey, for the ones I cut in half and just polished - tumbled in 12lb Lortone for 1 cycle (6 days) then lot o as per the lot o recipe on this forum. Ao 220 for 3-4 days, then AO 1000 and then polish I think.

Thank you.

My photos have a long way to go still and to produce really fine macro shots requires the purchase of a few more pieces of equipment that I don't have just yet.
