Great looking batch. The Bahia agates are a lot of work but yours look great. Is that first picture a lake superior agate?

Thanks all. No superiors, those are bahias. Have taken over 2 months, and some grinding for several. I really have fun with the bahias, have 25# more ordered.

Hey John, It is so great to see your work in the finish stage I just love what you did. Great job and great documentation of the process. You have provided such inspiration. It is one thing to see really beautiful tumbled material that has been done by a very experienced pro. You admire and aspire to reach that level. However seeing what you have done really inspires me to start the tumbler rolling. Stu

I really like the first rock too. The other one I like is the second to last rock (third and fourth pictures from the end). What kind is that?
