If I'm recognizing correctly, that Bloodstone in pics 10 and 11 is outstanding! I love all the Botswana Agates...and number 12 is the bomb!

While I very much enjoy the amethyst, the odds and ends really catch my attention! Superior job again!!!

Beautiful batch of odds and ends! I love the ones in pictures 5 and 8. Those white blobs in #8 are interesting.
Is the one in the bottom right of #5 a Bot? It has such nice color variation in it.

Another beautiful batch Chuck. The Amythest is flawless! Out of the batch, I'm partial to #9. I like the colors and pattern.

It started off about three times that size but every time I ground off one flaw another kept popping up. I finally gave up on trying for flawless on that one. Still a neat pattern though. Chuck

Hope I can wipe the slobber off my keyboard before it affects the electronics! That's an awesome batch Chuck!

Thanks- That one should be a bot. Looks a bit like a laker to me but I should not have had any of those in this barrel. Chuck

Amazing batch, but that bloodstone really stands out. We don't see enough bloodstone on here.

Interesting that you tumbled the amethyst with agates, I might try it with some I have left. I just finished a batch of banded amethyst, came out very good, not great. The pebble pups in the neighborhood came and claimed most of it.

Love the bloodstone, and also the face in #12. Not that there’s anything wrong with the rest, but those just top the pile.
