This batch turned out pretty good. I decided to try to photograph them outside. With that much light I should have watched for dust, lint and fingerprints. Here’s the batch. Some bots that I liked the best in the batch. Some sliced bots ashley a couple miscellaneous rocks that found their way into a tumbler. My favorites were a couple LSAs. One was sliced, the other I did quite a bit of grinding on before it went into the tumbler. The one I ground on is upper left in the photos. It might be the nicest rock I ever picked out of a tumbler. There is a big parallax shadow visible on the left rock above. It works it’s way around the edges of the rock. thanks for looking, Brent

StarguyThose are all super nice Brent!! Thanks for tagging me to see those. The white random one that got in the batch has a super cool pattern to it. I cut one of the agates but am waiting to get a thinner blade to cut the rest so I save as much material as possible.

Thanks Robin hummingbirdstones. I’ve been watching some of those stones for a long time as they progressed through stage one.

I usually don't comment on pics as what else can be said? But these rocks are amazing!

Thanks stefan . It was fun watching that batch come together. As I was getting the rocks ready for stage 2, I knew it was going to be a good one.
