This is my latest batch, just out of 500...going into 1,000 as soon as I get them burnished. It's a mixed batch of just about everything...Petrified Wood, Palm Wood, Woodward Ranch Agate, Round Mountain Chalcedony, Lake Superior Agate, Imperial Jasper, Amethyst, Starburst Jasper, Botswana Agate, Hooba Jasper, Bloodstone, Green Zebra Jasper, Tube Agate, Red Mexican Lace, Dino Bone, Horn Coral...you name it...if it's hard it's probably in here. Some are round and some are slabs. I've been working on them for months! Should be done by Labor Day... hahaha. :)S

Lovely tumbles there, the polish is going to be a real pleasure. Look forward to seeing the results. The bandy agate 2'nd image left, and lower left final image is just like some mixed agates, I started this afternoon. Hope mine shape up as nice as yours! e ;D

Yeah, Randy - that's my prized Lake Superior agate. It started out about the size of a golf ball. I can't wait to see it finished...it's an eye agate, for sure. It probably is looking at you!
