Very cool. I've never thought of tumbling Dugways. I have to say - they turned out great!

Those really polished great! The bands in the non agate portion really look great.

Wow, they look great! Both the tumbles and the cut halves.

Those look great! I love the banding period, but especially around the cut geodes! Could try to flat polish one or two of those!

Nice!
If you haven't already, you should check them out with some UV light; the chalcedony turns green and the rhyolite turns a purplish color.

Very nice and sparkly geodes. I didn't know they would tumble that well. Thanks for sharing.

Those are just amazing! I’m loving seeing tumbled thunder eggs!

Those look great! I love the banding period, but especially around the cut geodes! Could try to flat polish one or two of those! I have been slowly working on polishing a few of them. It's interesting that they are blue-ish in color before starting to polish and then they take on a more brown color afterwards.

I'm sure either way though they'll be gorgeous!
