Well... Brian's agates that he sent me months ago are finally finished! Uh... It only took 5+ months of roughing in little 3lb'ers to get them ready to move on . Dang, I think those AZ agates are the hardest material I've ever roughed LOL! Anyhoo, during the last few months I had to keep adding material to two 3lb Lortone barrels to keep Beef's stuff going. The final 6lb batch is Brian's stuff, some local Carnelian and whiter agates that my daughter Brooke and I collected on Green Mountain and some other miscellaneous filler that I added to keep the barrels full. Some of the carnelians and most of the filler will go back into a future batch for more rounding, but all in all, this batch turned out great and is such a splash of refreshing color! Whole batch: A few of Beefjello's AZ AWESOME Agates (that moss is just unbelivable....wish I had a super macro on my camera...) (Too much COOL stuff comes from AZ! Gotta plan me a trip out there some time!) Beef close-ups: Locals: Some beautiful filler: Thanks for taking some of your time to check out mine!!! ~Krystee

I adore carnelian from the northwest, especially when the material retains its color after tumbling. You are so lucky to be able to obtain that locally. Nice treatments.

What a fun batch! Loads of color, fun patterns and a killer shine. I don't know how you are ever going to get anything done other than sitting and looking at those stones. Jo
