Awesome!! The tigereye and hawkeye are the best that I've seen so far, they aren't normally that flawless from what I've seen. You got an excellent shine on everything!!

Randy, that's because I took the flawed ones out before the pic. Is that cheating?

Nice batch! *L* I take out the rejects before I post pics too. That tiger eye mix is really pretty and it looks like you've got a heck of a fine shine on them all....mel

Nice batch Todd. I guess working on them for 2 years payed off! Just kidding. You did an excellent job on all of them.

Thanks all. I took the pics in the window, that must have washed out most of the color.
The problem is I only have about 3 rocks ready to go into 220. I need 2 more lortones to process the rough so that I can keep my vibe shaking. Either that or a smaller vibe so I can't process everything at once.

hooray!! nice batch toad except you must have done something very wrong....where are your fractures in the rose quartz?

LOL Kim. Anything with fractures kept going back into rough grind until the fractures were gone - or the stone disappeared.

Very nice job on the Tiger eyes as is the rest. I just threw a batch of Tiger Eyes back in the rotary after going all of the way to final polish with them. Too many nicks & imperfections. I'm going to roll these to "hopefully' what you've been able to achieve! Nice stones thank you for sharing the pics. Last
