Looks like the colors of the rainbow are all splattered about. Killer!

Very detailed and colorful piece. In Kentucky, botryoidal chalcedony and agate is in numerous geodes. Yours has the water level and the perfect shade of blue. I definitely envy you. Keep it up!

I really like the jasper and the dendrite slabs. Having dendrites in jasper is a bonus. Good luck with em'.

Well, I can tumble to the smaller chunks of agates that I find, but recently I bought a blue Uruguay fortification agate. Good price, I think. Wish I had a job. In a few months, at least, I'll start at my college. I ain't complaining. I've no experience with a dremel, sadly. One of these days, that'll change.

If anyone can help me, would greatly appreciate. Can I hand polish an agate with wet sand paper, water, polish, and denim? I would like to try my hand at the work. Also grit types for the sandpaper? Perhaps 50-120 for the first stage? And then keep doing finer grit?

That is good material, should look for some more. Never know what you can find.

Who would have known 10 years ago we would find dino blood in fossils? Awesome.

Wildlife and cultivation and everything is effected. Mass die offs of fish worry me. Of course the only solution would be to pump in water from the ocean or other areas. I have gained interest in the Salton Sea, and it's the biggest lake or man-made lake in California. If it goes, southern Cali goes. And my ex lives right by it. There are many pictures online and videos that make you wonder how low America has got. I feel sorry for those that live in the desert.

They'll take a great polish and the colors will pop. Nice pieces.

Great cab how, long did it take from cut to polish?

I've cut my hands many a time with little regard to the handling of broken chalcedony and dogtooth quartz tips. I reckon as I grow older I'll learn to remember to use gloves and safety glasses, and save the bigger rocks for another day.
