Great job on those! Two really difficult materials to tumble and they turned out beautiful.

Way to bring the Obsidian back from the dead! Fantastic job on both of those!

Nice rescue on the obsidian. The Sodalite looks great, too.

Any possible ID on the two unknowns? Part of me wants to say the green one is Malachite but I honestly don’t know.

Don't rely too heavily on this...but the green one looks more like a jade than malachite to me...

I thought possibly jade on the green one too, but my rock/mineral ID's are pretty sketchy.

Those are really pretty! I especially like the blue ones. Do you have a before (rough) photo. In learning stages and curious to see what your beautiful specimens looked like prior to tumbling. Respectfully, Blue
