Wow ashley what a show! Your polish is fantastic. That’s quite an assortment too. I love the yellowish/orangish fortification slice. Do you know what it is?

Wow is right! Great polish. What is the brown one with small lighter lines in the upper left corner of the first pic? Thanks

Thank you Brent! I think it is a condor agate but not 100% sure.

Some of those look like Agua Nueva Agates. There's a bunch in that batch that are real showstoppers!

Holy Moly! If there ever was eye rock candy this is it!!! In the first picture - that beautiful crystal pocket - how did you protect that while tumbling? Or did you flat polish?

I really like the one with a pink area near it's top then spiderweb like area on the lower right - one picture above what looks like a bahia agate. They are all really nice!

I don’t do anything to it, just throw it in the tumbler and clean it with a toothbrush in between. I always fill the tumbler with soap and water and let that run for about 15-30 minutes before I do the cleanout as it does an awesome job of precleaning the rocks so when I do the cleanup they are already mostly clean.

Nice! Thank you. It really turned out so nicely. I'll keep this in mind (I hear about people using hot glue in there, but thought that might be quite a bit to clean out - how would you even?)
