Howdy folks, Took another batch from the UV-10 today. Probably the most mixed batch I've ever done. Contains all my recent offcuts, some of Ralph and Mary Ann's offcut goodies and slabettes. Mixed Texas woods, and agate from all over. Here are a few pics.....Mel The whole shooting match: First of my tumbled Texas wood. Maybe Curt or Snuffy will know what the long weird one is. I'm thinking maybe snakewood but ain't sure. Bubblegums: Some lower quality Lavic tumble pieces I had left over: Misc offcuts and slabettes etc:

Krystee: The banded agate is a Laguna with a transparent band and you're seeing through it to the green background. Unless you're talking about the other green stone which is Mexican green Imperial Jasper...Mel

Variety is the spice of life! They look great. I have a bunch of slabettes tumbling right now and so far I like them. I like the weird shapes. Bought some Mexican crazy lace & swirl rhyolite from Ralph & Mary Ann while at the show on Saturday. They had top quality material for sure.

Lovely tumbles and what great variety. I see a lot of pendants in those offcuts and slabettes.

Tanya: Yep, after seeing Randy's fine pendants, I got me some bell caps, jump rings and chains and am making pendants for the ranch kids. Making some from some of my Bakersfield shark teeth too. The ranch kids really love them......Mel

The 5th picture down. The Agate at the bottom of the pile with green banding looks out of this world. What is it called?
