nursetumblerWow, you’re patient! That’s crazy that’s all that’s left! This group also started out in New Mexico so it has traveled too. Lol. Well all but the amazonite and apatite. Those I started a couple weeks ago. The apatite I started out in 60/90 but should have really started it out in 130/220. Maybe there would have been more rock left.

Great batch of rocks and a really nice polish on those Kelly! The Tiger Eye really stands out to me in the group pic!

That's a great 2nd batch. Your Tiger's eye came out very good, and I love the deep blue of the apatite. Thanks for sharing.

nursetumblerOk you’ve talked me into it Kelly! I’m going to have to buy some amazonite! Lol, that is such a pretty blue! ashleyThe amazonite is the pale blue green, the apatite it the darker blue. I started with 1.5# of apatite but started it in 60/90. I think my finish pieces might be bigger if I started out with finer grit.
