Good morning! I ran this last batch of material using the Rock Shed's 4 stage batch (with the 8000 grit Aluminum Oxide) for 10 days and it sure came out amazingly great. Super good shine, even a little bit of Sardonyx in this one. Now I just need to figure out how to sell it

I'll be right back, I just need go to the garage for a few minutes...

The small polished slabs of banded agates are charming and can be made into fridge magnets.

I really have to give the folks at The Rock Shed a kudos. Their 4 stage pack is hard to beat and really gives a super shine to tumbles. Thanks for the compliments all!

I'm still a straight newb, but I really like The Rock Shed's grits. They work great for me.
