Thanks. There’re aren’t too many eyes showing up yet. I expected more. The smalls seem to have them more than the bigger nodules. Oh MAN!!! Those are GREAT!!! What a fun batch to tumble! You're going to be working on these LSA's for at least 6 months! Thanks. I’m going to try to keep it all Lakers for as long as possible. I’m in it for the long haul. Looking awesome Brent! LSA’s are so pretty. Thanks Ashley. I’ve been wanting to tumble an all Laker barrel for a loooong time. It’s kind of a bucket list item. I’ve got a couple of snake skins you sent ready for a polish run. Thank you. Thanks. This batch kind of made me feel like I’m new to tumbling. It’s hard to wait for it to run a week. Beautiful colors and luster. What's an LSA? Riddle me this!! Thank you. You’ll Likely See Answers below. Welcome to RTH. Beautiful colors and luster. What's an LSA? Riddle me this!! Look, Scroll Above! I just learned it in this thread too. Lake Superior Agate You’re cracking me up. It’s funny how many LSA substitutes are already in this thread. |

A few more arrived today. These will be for volume replacement. I finally found a bigger one for a reasonable price. The big one is 5.5 oz. The other two larger ones are around 2.3 oz.  |

Starguy ... thanks especially for posting the "before" pictures .... seeing what they look like pre-tumble / vibe helps in the learning process of knowing what to look for when wandering on the shores of Lake Superior. So far, I have found one small "maybe" but I have hopes for next year's hounding foray !

iamchrisI would say the price of that agate is on the high end although it is a nice stone. The majority of the medium size agates in this thread cost $0.99. Lots more were in the $1.99-$3.99 range. With the exception of the large one posted above, the highest cost stone was $12.99. Over my years of buying small Lakers, I have seen them between $4-10/ lb.

New batch of very oily LSAs.  Here they are with free gifts for being a good customer. Guess what’s in the bags.  |

Some real eye candy in there Brent  I can’t believe they’re being sold either but I’m willing to buy them while the price stays reasonable. The minimum bid has been creeping up a little lately but the quality is worth it. iamchris I would say the price of that agate is on the high end although it is a nice stone.

I don’t recall the shipping cost. |

Not that you're going to sell those tumbles...but I'm pretty sure you will have increased your monetary investment exponentially by the time these beauties are done!
