I just pulled these out of the top of a ten pound batch that I'm getting ready to burnish with borax, sorry about the crappy pic, the shine on these is unreal. I had to stick the rocks on top of my scanner and scan them because my only camera disk that's left had an error.  lol... I'm really excited about these, I'll have a bunch more to post tonight!!  |

Hammer-
Whoa, what a cool collection that is. I just love the white on dark one with the yellow eye. I'm starting to get a feel why you love 'swanas sooooo much.
Don't keep us in suspense for too long....post more.

Thanks y'all!! I have a bunch of it in the tumbler, I think that I'm going to hold off on burnishing until tonight, everytime I check them they're more shiney than before (vibe tumbler). The rocks in the pic started tumbling in course grit only seven days ago!!

Thanks for the comments! I just finished cleaning everything and starting the "tumble in straight Borax" stage. I'll be rinsing the rocks off tomorrow morning and posting some pics. There's some cool stuff in there that I forgot all about too.
