Here are some snowflake agate slabs and cabs I made from local rocks. At least the guys at my rock club told me this is snowflake agate. If they are wrong, let me know. Anyway It is pretty stuff.

Notice the cosmic designs in it.

And some cabs from slabs like those.

More cabs from more slabs.

Thanks for lookin.

kjk: Hey Ya'll, Just signed up to the formum. About 5 years into tumbling, have 1 - 3# & 1 - 15# rotatary and 1 TV-5. Been using voltage regulators to control speeds which has improved end results. Nov 6, 2024 21:46:04 GMT -5

kjk: My first try on Fluorite was about 5 years ago. Pre-shaped rough with dremel then used a 3 # rotary start to finish 90-220-500-TXP polish,all with ceramic fill. Nov 6, 2024 22:06:16 GMT -5

kjk: Second attempt with fluorite, 3# rotary for stages 1 thru 3 with 90-220-700 all with ceramic. Stage 4 TV-5 with 1000 and ceramic. Stage 4 TV-5 with 1200 and corn cob. Looks Gem quality and ready for final polish. Nov 6, 2024 22:11:20 GMT -5

kjk: looking for suggestions on final polish for Fluorite. Been sitting on these gems for a while because I don't want to bust them up like my first try. Have been leaning towards TV-5 with #61 Rapid Polish, ceramic, 1/2 cup water, TV-5 approx 60v (1/2 speed) Nov 6, 2024 22:21:39 GMT -5

RickB: Cheaper by the dozen? Nov 10, 2024 7:07:13 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: That had better be a good sandwich for that price, otherwise you're better off making one yourself. Nov 10, 2024 21:10:43 GMT -5

amygdule: I like my sandwich made by a talented artist that deserves a Tip...Thank You Nov 11, 2024 7:12:10 GMT -5 *

amygdule: Her sandwich taste better... Nov 11, 2024 17:07:29 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
