Hi all! Re-did the quartz that didn't work out in my first Lot-O run. Got the new vibe for Christmas and after a slight learning curve and tweaking my recipe for the new machine, I think I've got it. Whole batch: Filler: Smokey (all of the clear was purchased as smokey...): Blue: Rose: Amethyst: Close-ups: Blue: Smokey: Surprise: Amethyst: Rose: Thanks for looking, ~ Krystee

Your redo is great! That blue quartz is always porous but it is so pretty, it doesn't matter. There is always internal fractures, seems to be especially true on self finds that I have but it just seems to add so much to the look when they hold together and give the rainbow effect. Great tumble! Fran

Cool, very nice on redoing. I'm thinking about redoing some of mine that did not turn out so good.
