Hi folks, just wanted to show off our latest tumbler batch. I'm still learning how to do this and I've been reading and appreciating all of the good information around this site - especially Shelby Raymond's "rock tumbling for the beginner" tutorial. Beach pebbles - mostly agatesTommy

Really nice agates. That macro puts a nice perspective on those rocks that makes it easier to appreciate them.

Those look like really high grade agate.They have such few fractures.Must have had a gentle life.If that is an amatuer tumble,i wanna see your experienced work.Great photography.I have used other photo sites,i think flicker injects the photos with steroids to make them look better:>I have become a flicker fan.
