Very nice, my absolute favorite is the Purple Passion agate... I was super excited to tumble the purple passion, but I found it likely to be a better cabbing material source as it was thin and layer like similar to blue lace, but had a ton of material that was difficult to remove without taking away the bulk of the rock as well. I still got a few neat pieces and my girls like the purple rocks

Another great batch, Grant! I like how those patterns in the Swazi agates seem to run together, but that Purple Passion is fantastic! My daughter would love that one, too!

As stated...another amazing batch of favorites! That Purple Passion is a standout to me! I just posted some pics of a couple Black Skin Agates in a "Slab" thread. It's definitely some varied material.

Wow nice stuff! Coincidentally Purple Passion is also the name of a popular Hot Wheels model!

Shiny, shiny beauties!
Love that Purple Passion, but the Swazi is really close.

Beautiful batch! My favorite would have to be the crazy lace with the Swazi a close second

Nice bunch of tumbles, saxplayer. I see what you've been up to while I was away. Just pumping out the 'best of' in every batch, apparently. I'm always a fan of high end material turned into tumbles, so keep on sharing the pics. Most folks, other than us tumblers, don't enjoy seeing ocean jasper and the like rolling around in a tumbler. It upsets them.

Still enjoy tumbling nice stuff. Basic math for me. Nice stuff in = nice stuff out.
