Beautiful rocks. Bots are always fun to tumble. The chatoyant part you see is known as a parallax shadow. They’re pretty common in bots. I’ve seen them in lakers too. Thanks for showing.

Beautiful batch! Somehow this batch looks more black than the others I saw in RTH...

Those are really nice! What a commitment though! 8 months??? I have some tumbling now that I bought pre-tumbled and those are taking forever!!!

Great polish! Don't think I could stick with it for that long.

Nice bunch o’ Bots but that LED lamp is a real distraction, especially in the video.

Beautiful batch. Love how you matched up before and after shots! This one is my favorite! That agate filled void on the right is awesome!

waterboysh - I can't thank you enough for taking the time to do the before and after shots! It really shows people what "CAN" be done with stones when they're put through the ringer...and left until they're "perfect"! Fantastic job on these!!

I'm in full agreement with the folks that appreciate the before & after aspect of your agates. Just keeping track of them for comparison is a true test of skills and something I love seeing. These agates have such depth from the bands and colors and that shine looks like you could take a spoonful of their shine. Gorgeous!
Photos like this make the forum so enjoyable. Thanks for sharing!

Totally agree! I really appreciate the time people take to do before and after shots and do their best work to pose them the same angle. It is so much fun to look at the before/after differences.
