Here is some of the opal pet wood polished along with some laguna and botswana agates and some misc jaspers and agates. They were in 60/90 for 12 days, recharged every 4 days, 1 week in 120/220, 5 days in 600, 1 week in 1000, and 2 days-yes 2 days in tin oxide. I missed a couple of rocks when I started the polish cycle so I opened the barrel after 2 days to put them in and I wound up looking at how things were progressing and this is what I found. I will probably put them back in-with the ones I missed-and let them go for another 3-4 days. I was pretty amazed at the shine they got after 2 days, but like Mark says on the main website, "open it up, if you like what you see, close it up and let it roll for a few more days." Here goes  Arkies opal wood   laguna  botswana   this one has these really cool pins inside  That's it for now Ed |

Wow, if you are getting that kind of shine after just two days, make sure you warn me before you take them out of the final polish, so I can put on some arc-welding glasses before looking at the pics. ;D
I especially like the main stone in the final pic....looks like a fireworks display captured in stone.

I am amazed that's just after two days, they will be
spectacular when done. I've got some that have been
rolling for 12 days now, maybe I'll take a peek at them today.

You know I don't know what I like better- the shine or the shape- completely impressive! Oh the shooting star rock (the clear with the streaks of red) is that fossil agate?

Thanks all. The one with the "pins" shooting thru it is a piece of the botswana agate. Bearcreek threw those in the box when I bought the laguna agates from him.
Trish, that pet wood is really beautiful stuff, glad I got some of that from you, thanks.
When I take them out of polish in a couple of days, I'll post them again for a comparision.
