Very nice tumbles without a doubt. I just ordered some nice tumbling rough from Kingsley North and it should be here in a few days. This tumbling rough consists of 8lbs of LSA, 5lbs of Botswana Agate, 5lbs of Mexican Crazy Lace and 5lbs of Carnelian Agate. I also have 4lbs of LSA coming from an Ebay seller and those should be here tomorrow. Thank you! Sounds like you are getting some amazing stuff! I wanna get my hands on some LSAs!

That pet wood looks cleeeean
And the vids really help show off the killer shine
Awesome batch sir
Thanks! Yeah, these pieces of Pet wood had no undercutting which is not common. I do have a few pieces still in coarse that I'll need to move forward with undercutting, because it doesn't seem feasible to grind it all away. For some reason the video camera on my phone captures a much brighter image than the camera? Not really sure why.

Here is a mixed batch I pulled out of the Lot-O today. I won't have time to grab some close ups until next week probably.

Daaaamn!! Those are amazing! I love the Bahias and can’t wait to get started on mine. The moss agate is sweet, chert looks very good and you did justice to those Prarie agates. Well done sir!

Your Bahias turned out awesome. Everything looks great but they are super attractive.
Thanks for sharing your work.

Thank you! I appreciate it! Yeah with the Bahias I learned there is a sweet spot before you expose the crystal/quartz underneath. I've left a few in the coarse grind a bit too long. Sometimes the best patterning comes out before they are totally smooth. Your Bahias turned out awesome. Everything looks great but they are super attractive. Thanks for sharing your work. Thank you! I was surprised with how well the obsidian turned out. I plan on doing a batch of them soon and having been playing with some scraps by throwing them in mixed batches, and they haven't turned out too bad. This has me hopeful I'll be able to get a good shine on them in a monoculture batch.

Very nice! Love your variety and those quartz are SO smooth and clear. Thanks for sharing! Thank you! I started 10 pounds of Rose quartz, probably 5-6 months ago (I'm guessing), and these are the last bits to get through polish. Moved on to the smokey quartz now. I like to always have a 6lb barrel of quartz going.

Just playing "catch-up". Loved the tumbles from the 4th for sure!! On this last batch, my eyes immediately went to the Prairie Agate in the group pic - the one in the bottom left in that first pic! LOL - That's one of my favorite types of Prairie Agates out here!
