Awesome Jack- THe mystry rock look a lot like Montana Moss Agate- Also the Unakite- I'm Shocked the CO did not polish it- Maybe it was a bit too soft to tumble with the rest of the crowd- I would try to give it run by itself! Love those Scottish Agates- and the mice!

The rocks in the upper right hand with the bloodstone may be bloodstone as well, just more coloring, I have several bloodstones that have the same colorization.
I love what you did with the rocks, those are adorable and whimzical.

Oooooo Jack those agates are gorgeous!! Look at how many
eyes they have, just awesome. I will be very careful with cutting,
but still don't know if I want to cut the "crab colored" agates.
Love the mice and critters too, those are just darling. I can see
how the kids would love them. Thanks for the pics!!

I was scrolling down slowly, thinking the garnets and amazonite were my faves, then I saw the Scottish agates -- man, those are out of this world! Great job, you sure crammed a lot in a 5 lb barrel! Good crafting too, I can see why those sell quickly.

Jack - You emptied a five pounder?
Never seen so many stones in one batch.
The Scottish agates are gorgeous.

Nice Batch there Jack! I like the Scottish Agates as well. I know I learned one thing...I need a BIGGER TUMBLER!
