Those are drop-dead gorgeous!! Those LSAs and Bahias are total standouts to me! *Okay...so are the Ocean Jaspers and pretty much every other rock pictured!

What a show! Everything looks great. I think I was most drawn to the mix of smalls but there are a lot that caught my eye. You really knocked that batch out of the park. Thanks for showing.

Wow they all look SO beautiful! The ocean jaspers are stunning. The tad poles in that backlit photo are intriguing.

Those are drop-dead gorgeous!! Those LSAs and Bahias are total standouts to me! *Okay...so are the Ocean Jaspers and pretty much every other rock pictured! Thank you! I really like Ocean Jasper, LSA, and Bahia Agates; especially the ones with eyes/orbs. What a show! Everything looks great. I think I was most drawn to the mix of smalls but there are a lot that caught my eye. You really knocked that batch out of the park. Thanks for showing. Thank you! I like how the photo turned out for the mix of smalls; it is fun to look at. Wow they all look SO beautiful! The ocean jaspers are stunning. The tad poles in that backlit photo are intriguing. Thank you! Those rocks are pretty dark and hard for me to photograph in normal light. The backlight shows some interesting results! Outstanding

Thank you! I love seeing other people's photos, so I try to return the favor from time to time. Great batch Montana agates look fantastic love those. The rest of the batch are just as awesome good work. Thank you for sharing it makes me want to strive harder for a batch like that. Thx again for sharing Thank you! I like how some of the Montana agate is blue tinted; I love me some blue rocks. WOW! Thanks for the eye feast. Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Outstanding eye candy and a beautiful polish on them. Thank you! It is certainly an exercise in patience, but I am pleased with the results.

Wow. Gorgeous. Now you need to set them in a bowl on your kitchen or coffee table so everyone who comes to your house can peruse them while they visit.

I tend to be a little more like Smaug than Robin Hood with my best rocks, but I definitely put some out so others can look at and keep some (if they want).

LOL Wow. Gorgeous. Now you need to set them in a bowl on your kitchen or coffee table so everyone who comes to your house can peruse them while they visit. Thanks! I tend to be a little more like Smaug than Robin Hood with my best rocks, but I definitely put some out so others can look at and keep some (if they want). I swear...every time my father-in-law comes over, he's got to have another polished rock. He keeps trying to snag some of my "best of the best"...so I've learned just to have a couple of my "seconds" ready to just hand over to him! LOL

I love it! What an extremely nice looking bunch these are!

He keeps trying to snag some of my "best of the best"...so I've learned just to have a couple of my "seconds" ready to just hand over to him! LOL Haha; seems like a good strategy! What a batch! Everything looks superb. The ocean jasper is outstanding and so are the Montana agates. Thanks for sharing. My pleasure! Thanks for looking/commenting. You always manage to shape and shine your stones very well, and no cracks or spalls either. I love it! What an extremely nice looking bunch these are! Thank you! I often have to remind myself that rocks often have cracks and try to live with it; it is a bit of a struggle.
