Paul, I like yours a lot better than my batch from The Rock Shed. Mine were very brown and not nearly as interesting as yours when they finished.
A few of yours could pass for Lakers! Scott

Very nice! You got a great polish on them! I picked some up too, Been cutting into a few, like you said, some are jasper. Others in my batch are waterline, others have quartz centers and some with chevron shaped banding like the one in center left of first pic. Fun little buggers.

Yup! Thats a good shine I perticularly like the one at 10 o'clock in the 1st & 2nd pic. The quartz is kinda windowed. All are good tumbles Paul! gr

Great shine and some really good pics of them too. Looks like a tough material to get all the imperfection out but it looks like you had a lot of patience and they turned out great.

Thanks guys. I do appreciate the encouragement. For a while, these things were driving me nuts and I was getting ready to hang it up for a while.
Gary, I just uploaded a close up of that one you were looking at. My camera skills, being what they are, it took me eight or ten shots to get it right. Thank goodness for digital cameras!
Thanks, Paul
