Hi all. Merry Christmas everyone. This is my latest batch out of polish. A mix of jaspers and agates, some of Gaetz's Utah rocks, and some wine country rocks. Coarse grind for as long as it took to round out, 12 days in 120/220, I skipped 600 and ran them for 8 days in 1000, and 5 days in Tin Oxide. And here they are. some moss agate picture jasper and purple agate Utah rocks from Gaetz close ups the whole batch on a silver platter I tried something different when I transferred them from photo bucket this time. I did a batch transfer and they are in reverse order and with all these damn snowflakes floating around, my coimputer is a little sluggish so I couldn't move them around. Ed

Thanks everyone. The yellow/red stones are some jaspers I've had going thru the stages for a couple of batches now. Xena, I got the purple sunset agate from Multi-stone international. A very hard agate.
