Howdy folks, Just a single pic of the batch of Rios I took out of my UV-10 this morning. Mostly just stuff from my lower grade stuff I don't include in the pups' sales mixed with a couple of my endcuts and reject slabs. They're finding some interesting quartz stuff too I have to crack up and tumble a batch from. Not really agate but I have a little in my next batch I put in just for a test and it looks kind of pretty. Anyway, here's the pic. No sun today but when it is sunny, this stuff is much more striking...Mel

We deserve individual photos Mel. Fine batch there. Nice doing pre-rounded pebbles ! It takes longer than I thought to grind the weathered layer off.

Yeah, with the exception of the slabs, the rough broke stuff took forever to round off. Rios are very hard stuff but they do take a real fine polish....Mel
