Great tumbles Sax! Fantastic pictures as well! I love the Montana Agates! And the pics after those, look like Syringapora Coral! Really awesome.

Lots of goodies, but the palm wood edges the others out. Fantastic.

Wow! you just made my morning :-) They are all grogeous. What camera equipment do you use for your close-ups? Thank you. I'm still tweaking my equipment because I'm self-taught with some help from prior photo experts here. I use a sony e-mount APS-c (alpha 6600) and a zeiss touit 50mm f/2.8 macro lens. Still fussing with lighting etc, haven't found the perfect set-up yet. I'm experimenting with photo stacking using a light rail as well.. some of those shots above have 50-60 stacks for 1 photo.. I use Helicon focus for that. Thanks for the info. I don't know what photo stacking is, but it's working :-)

I still need to unpack my older camera gear to play around with rock macros. Everything I’ve photographed rock related has used my Oly point and shoot. (It would help even more if I got some nice tumbles finished!)

Check out my Texas friend's flickr photos. His Texas/Mexico border woods palms jaspers and agates are some of the finest rock specimens on earth.

Lots of goodies, but the palm wood edges the others out. Fantastic. Thanks! My favorite is probably the single red LSA palm stone. Then the palm wood pieces after!
