Great looking batch ashley. The bots are my favorite but there are a lot of cool rocks. That batch had a lot of different stuff. Thanks for showing.

Well dangit! This must be the week for people being disappointed in their own tumbles! There's some good stuff that came out of the batch...some might just need another go around. I know the ones I did this last week should have another go-around.

I think they turned out pretty darn good. My favorites, rutilated quartz, apache tears, then cherry tanzurine quartz. My rutilated quartz is coming along at an alarmingly slow pace. Good job there Ashley. Thanks for sharing.

jasoninsdIt is! I was disappointed with this batch and the cab. I actually cleaned out the lot o and left it empty for a day! Thats the first since I got it. But I got over my sadness and loaded up a batch today.

I only see a few that may need a partial redo. I have redo's in all my stages. I haven't been running my Vibe regularly because the temps have been topping out in the 90's and it gets so hot in the garage.
What state/area is the obsidian from?
How long do you tumble each stage?

This is it but I don’t actually burnish them ever. I scrub each rock with a toothbrush between cycles. The 1st stage I usually do longer then 2 days more like 3 because I skip the rotary a lot so they need a bit more time.
