Thanks for the great photos. I love the carnelians in number 12, especially the banded one on top. Do you know what the green one with the eyes is in number 10? I love that one. 17 and 20 are my other favorites.

3-4-11 are my favorites, but I actually think the entire batch goes in the winners circle. Thanks! I can see why there are a lot of tumblers.

Fine batch Chuck. Got some serious variety and unknown stuff. Lower one in 24, 18, 16, 15, 14, 11, a coral in 8, and 4 are mystifying.
18 is crazy. So is 3.

Very impressive! Too many favs. Seriously. But, I will say that I have never seen noreena so shiny before.

Great batch. The dendritic opal is really pretty, and the shape of that first laker plays superbly with the color and contours.

Likewise - I've never seen Noreena so shiny!
Faves ... maybe the dryhead and moroccan. Mookaite too. That spotted Laker is simply sumptuous. Too difficult to choose!

Thanks to all for the nice comments. rockjunquie metalsmith - I guess now the test would be to cut a couple norena cabs on the genie and only go to the 280 wheel then toss them in the loto vibe tumbler. I am guessing the results would be really good. Chuck
