Here's the batch that I unloaded this afternoon Botswanas, Zebra agate, Montana agate and Blue jasper. I threw some junk in there for size reference, I was going to stick a few St. Gaudens gold pieces in there but my old lady told me not to show off. ;D haha.... This batch remained in the vibe for two weeks, it made a big difference! 6 days in coarse, 4 days in fine and four days in the polish, 4 hours in Borax. No recharges!

Oooooooooo nice showoff! *smile* Just trying to back up your mrs there. heeeheee. That zebra agate is so cool, I can't wait to get some of that done. Where'd you find the blue jasper? That's really really pretty too. That's a beautiful load of stones there, nice colors, it's just fun to look at.

Nice rocks and coins. The rocks in pic 4 next to the tiger eye are awesome. Morgans are my favorite coins. I started a tradition of giving new family members a Morgan that was 100 years old on their birth year. Had to tell everyone that they would have to call a moratorium on babies til 2021!

The ones next to the tiger eye are zebra agate, I like them alot!
Cher- the blue jasper came from the rockshed, I'm going to buy 10 or 15 pounds more soon, that stuff is beautiful! The pics are crappy, they just don't show the shine very well. All the rocks look like glass! ;D

They are, again, beautiful. Great stuff, and you've done a great job. Makes me nervous about posting my first attempts, if they ever get done that is...

Thanks for the encouragement ya'll! I'm debating on weather or not to put Botswanas into the next batch, I added a few surprizes. I sure hope that they turn out!
jdennis- Awesome! You won't be disappointed, every box of those that I've received is full of surprizes! I think that I'm going to order 20 more pounds of it after Christmas. ;D
Robert- that reminds me, I have to go eat something. lol
