Some real nice- some not so nice- and some that just need more help! Odd ball quartzy matrix stuff off of a weird geode type rock- come out nicer than I expected Bunch of softies- little shine- most going to run again in Tin Oxide rather than Alum Oxide. Sodalite was very dissapointing. Oh well that's why I have Tin Nice Montanas. Really pleased with these ones A geode I smacked apart years ago- Really pretty blue lace in it. SHould have sawed off the matrix The rest of the batch- A little of this and a little of that Some Cabo- failures. Just did not work out on the cabbing machine- actually turned out real nice in the tumbler- go figure And an attempted closeup of a black skin agate- Picture won't show the parrelex- too bad as this is a real nice piece. I gotta get cutting more of this up as it is a great tumble.

Oh yeah, you got some beautiful Montana Agate, I just love that stuff. Good job on all of them.
