My latest batch. Had to do allot of culling and adding on this one. I tried to make my pieces smaller but, by the time they were shaped, many were tiny. Came out pretty just the same(gonna ask for a better camera for Xmas).
This is some of Gaetz's local stuff. Had a problem with pitting and vugs, but the part that held up is really nice. Love the red stuff
(P.S. The white spots aren't stuck polish, they really are white)

This is home grown puppies agates. Wish the pic was better, lots of banding. I have some going back to coarse that will be breathtaking.

These I found in my Mom's rock garden. She buys bags of rocks from Lowe's and sometimes theres some nice agates in there.

This pic bites, I can't do close ups, but these are some laker's I got from Cher that have gone back for the third time. Really nice.

And lastly, some idontknowites. Local, mom's yard, Gaetz, pet wood ...

Not spectacular, but I hope you enjoy!

If you hit the speed bumbs really fast, you hardly feel them at all.

Cook-

Hey, those reds seemed to turn out quite nicely. Great job. Sorry about the vuggy mess. Next time I'll tumble the stuff first and see how it turns out before I ship you a load. Glad to see they finally turned out. I hope it was worth it. If you'd like, PM me with the details.

thanks for posting picts.....

later, gaeter

We are all like that ugly rock stuck in the dirt and mud. Capable of being picked up, tossed around, beaten, then gloriously shined to perfection!

How come you don't take pics outdoors? You got some nice shapes in there and and looks like they shined up nicely. Ed
