Opened a three pounder this morning. It has an average polish but there are some very nice stones. The towel shot. Lots of smalls in the batch. Bots glass cutter Brazilians, MMAs and blackskin. my favorites. The Teepees are from jasoninsd.

They look excellent! I would guess your "average" polish is "always great" polish.

I think Ashley nailed it with the word "flawless" when describing your tumbles Brent! Your patience...and prep work really show in the results my friend! Of course I LOVE those Teepee Canyon Agates! Those are such hit or miss with tumbles, I'm SO glad these were a hit!!

They look excellent! I would guess your "average" polish is "always great" polish. Thanks. It was a fun batch, but all of them are. I thought this would turn out better than average because there were a lot of smalls. Beautiful as always Brent!! You always get an amazing polish! I love how perfectly you shape your rocks too, they look flawless. Thanks Ashley. It’s just time in the rotary. I’m probably a little too picky about what moves on to stage two.

You’re dead right about the Teepee Canyon agates. They’re tough to do anything with but they’re sooooooo satisfying when they turn out nice.

As others have intimated, I see nothing average here. Although, I guess the average of perfect is still perfect...
Very nice rocks with a very nice polish! I love rocks with eyes, orbs, and other circular patterns; I think your favorites are some of my favorites!

That polish is way above average! Amazing rocks. I've got some of the tumbles you sent moving through now and they already look amazing!

I always shoot for above average but you get what you get. That polish is way above average! Amazing rocks. I've got some of the tumbles you sent moving through now and they already look amazing! Thanks Peta. I’m thinking of trying some obsidian / Apache tears for the challenge. I’m looking forward to seeing what you are working on.

My plan this weekend is to finish the sapphire! I have got to get down there and do some (fun) work!
