Hi all. These came out of the tumbler last week, and I finally got a chance to take some photos. It's a mixed batch of agates and jaspers. They were in 60/90 til they were shaped, 6 days 120/220, 5 days in 600, 4 days in 1000, and 5 days in Tin Oxide polish. Pellets used in the last 3 stages. The whole batch(minus the small pieces)  Some close-ups  The blue ones in the lower left are Kim's swirlstone  The light blue ones are from Gaetzchamp-Thanks Tim  That's all folks! |

Fantastic job! Interesting material, and a truly blazing shine! What are those two transparent pale green stones, most readily seen in the third photo on the left hand side?

Ooooooo Stoner. You could have warned us that we'd need
our shades to look at the pics, that's a totally awesome shine!

Ed-
Wow those are incredible. What a fantastic shine you've got going. I think you've found yourself a nice little recipe there. I'm glad to see some of my stuff made it into such an exalted state!!!!! You are quite the master.

Stoner - Beautiful batch & shine & variety.
Gaetz - Can you identify the large blueish-clear rock center of pic 2 and left of pic 4?
How about blue-white top right of pic 3?
Better yet - send five pounds and tell me what I owe you.

Thanks all. RS, the pale green pieces are amazonite that were left over from a barrett I made for my wife. The light blue stone from Gaetz turned out to be some kind of agate. We'll call it "Bluegaetzite". Originally I thought it might be blue chalcedony. Really nice stuff. Got a bunch of jaspers in 600 now, so should have another batch in 2 weeks.
