This will be my last shiny batch of rocks for awhile. We’re moving and it’s been a royal pain so far. These were all tumbled in the rotary for months, then finished off in my raytech 5. I am happy with my system. It’s a bit chaotic but seems to be working well. These are my favorites. Oh, I forgot I have a few larger rocks finishing up in the raytech. I’ll post those in a day or two.

That's a great looking batch. The first photo might be grainy but it doesn't detract anything from those beauties. Thanks for sharing.

They look so beautiful. The Botswana agate in the second picture is amazing.

The picture is fine, it’s the ‘reducing for upload’ thing that messes them up. Eventually I’ll find a better way to post pictures. Just not now. I’m completely overwhelmed right now.

Tumblers win a medal for patience. The results are lovely!

Pretties. But think how exciting it will be when you unpack everything & set up again. Good Luck moving

You ain't just whistlin' Dixie on the shiny batch Velo! It would appear your chaotic system is working just fine! Deep breaths...count to ten...if that doesn't work, take your shoes off and count to 20...that's how I have to do it!

Yeah sounds about right lol. I’m a bit of a minimalist. Clothes, kitchen stuff and my hobbies basically. My wife and her kid are the opposite and have so much…stuff that it’s overwhelming, and it’s mostly the kids stuff, and the kid is not helping. So I’m moving only what we need and the other crap can sit until until the kid misses it or I toss it. Ugh.

Sounds like a good motto to teach a kid for many avenues: "Move it or Lose it"
