OK, I did some more yesterday! You guys are gonna get sick of me posting pics pretty soon, huh? Anyways, these first 2 are from the same rock, it appears to be some form of stromatolite, but I don't think it's Maryellen. Instead of the darker areas being black, or silver they are a metallic green kinda, and I never could get a shine on any of it through the tumblers, even though it was hard as all get out. If anyone has any ideas on it, that would be great. Of course I had to do a couple of Lakers! 1st one is 1.25 inches tall, 2nd one is 1 inch tall Another Agate...help me with ID, I am trying to learn all these!! This came from my Ken/Donna goodie box! Another one from a goodie box, I think this one came from Julie, again help with ID needed. Hard as heck! Then lastly, aunuts was the first person to ever send me anything, and the first box she sent had this piece in it marked "jade". I never did anything with it, I just set it aside thinking that someday I might maybe tumble it....well, now that I have this machine, I thought of something better! OK, that's it. There was a couple others but they weren't all that great, and I wanna take them back to the wheels and try again. Hope ya like 'em, and any input from all you experts out there would be appreciated!! Marie

I can't pick a favorite Marie, they are all great! Okay I lean toward the first two but those Lakers are really cool. I'll take them all, lol. You are really good at this cabbing!

Those are pretty, nicely domed, and mirrow shine. I think that oval laker is the best. I take it you enjoy cabbing also. ;D Donna

Well Marie, these are again fantastic! I wouldn't consider myself an expert by any means, but I do have some constructive criticism for you.... Wipe off the finger prints from that mirror polish! ;D LOL!
Great job!
