holajonathan No special measures were taken with that tumble. I didn’t use plastic pellets. The entire batch was good quality agate. I was a little short on polish. I used about 3 tablespoons of tin oxide in a three pound barrel. They all spent a long time in coarse for rounding and removing surface flaws. They were 100% rotary tumbled.

These are beautiful. I just bought some extra large crazy lace from TRS, should be here this week. I have my first ever batch going right now that I am just doing on random things I have found around my area (mostly Jasper and Chalcedony), just to make sure I'm doing it right before putting in stuff I paid money for!

cadefoster117. That’s the way to go. Start slow and tumble good material. I can’t wait to see some photos.

Probably the last batch of 2021. Mostly bots and lakers. There were a few Montana moss agate chunks thrown in. The entire batch fresh from the 3 lb barrel. Some of my favorites, mostly Bots. Some Montana agates including one failed cab. Some of the nicer LSAs. Most of the lakers were small and kind of uninteresting. They polished well though. Thanks for looking. Sexy rocks right there brother!
