These are a few things I polished on my cabbing machine. It's not easy trying to polish flat surfaces on wheels. I did several more geode halves but they have scratches that need to be worked out so I have not posted these. This is a geode we got in Demming, NM. I have only polished this half so far. I tumlbed this for awhile first but it was wearing away to much of the fish image. The back is polished too and I flattened a small area on the bottom so it would sit properly. back This geode came from Demming, NM also. I thought it looked like my home state of Texas. Dont remember where this came from but it sure is pretty. Hope you enjoyed looking. ~~Mitzi~~

Wow nice! I've always liked Baker ranch eggs as the matrix is hard enough to take a good polish. neat to get the fishy in one!....Mel

Mitzi, it looks like you did a good job of grinding them and polishing them. That fishy is special.
