Here's some more recent shapes out of the tumbler. These are from one of the few rocks I have actually purchased. Some sort of lace agate I'm guessing Various Windera agates I have collected during this year A closer shot of the pink agate. This is for my daughter when she is a bit older. Her name is Kelsey, she just turned 3 years old and gets excited when she sees anything that is pink...ANYTHING! I may have to enlist the help of one of you talented wrappers out there. The most common colour of agate I find in Windera. Was only able to cut 2 slabs from the tiny piece I found of this agate. Very unusual. Any help in identifying it? Unfortunately both pieces developed cracks during the tumbling process. Same one back-lit. Nearly threw away the rock that this one was cut from. I thought it was junk but decided to give it a go. And back-lit Love these moss agates. I haven't found many of them though. Windera japer, Chinchilla pet wood, Windera Jasper I love the colours and contrasts in these 3 There you have 'em. Have a top day. Mike

Very nice. What a variety! Thanks for sharing them with us. I, too, have a daughter who likes anything pink. She's 5.
I especially like the second pic. and the moss agate.

Nice tumbled cabs, Mike. I really like the "almost-thrown-away" and the moss agate. The three in the last photo are awesome! Especially the one of the left!

That wood is just amazing. I would be setting up a semi-permanant campsite right in the middle of the collecting area.

I too think the Chinchilla wood is great.I have a source that recently offered me some and I passed based upon the photos of the rough sent to me.You have changed my mind about getting some.

These are all beautiful Mike, but the pink one and the little agates with the white squiggles are my favorites.

Beautifully done Mike and Kelsey will adore the gift from her father. Your Country has such beautiful rock. I enjoy seeing the work you do with your native rock. Thanks for sharing! Daniel
