Got some more agates out of the polish, mostly agates

Enjoy and thanks for looking,

These are some that I did for my son, a few bigger ones too. Cher

I love the reds and the banding. If Oregon had some of those lakers around, it would be the perfect state! Lakers or Botswanas...what should I purchase next??? Steve

Yes Stefan, they are pretty much all collected in this size, not busting any up. The few larger ones that I do have I'm saving in hopes of getting a saw. These are little tumblers, less than an inch. There's still come pieces that might do good for a pendant if I can figure a wrap on them. That's what most of the ones I've collected are, generally around an inch or so, finding a bigger one is really lucky. Thanks again, glad everyone enjoyed them.

Holy Cow. I believe that is the best batch I've seen from you. Those are just gorgeous. I love the crystally one in the second picture. My what fun that is. Nice to see some of my rough turning out so nice.

Great Job.
