;DBanjo took the pictures and forgot to put anything in there for size. So they are in a 10inch pie pan with towel. I didn't sort or do anything fancy. What you see is how they came out. But next time....

This is just a bunch of stuff from my husbands trim saw and slab saw. We also have a bucket we put misc. rocks in for tumbling. This is all of that.

We used titanium oxide for polish.

I still have some Obsidian to come out in a couple of days. That batch I just had Banjo's guidance. It was a bear because it was my first attempt and we had to take it back a few notches to fix it. But some real beauties are in this batch.
Thanks for looking!!

WTG MrsBanjo, those are beautiful, you've got some really pretty pieces in there. I love batches like this that are so colorful and have lots of variety. Great job, can't wait to see your obsidian. I've got a load that I'm working on right now too, it's not moving fast enough for me though.
