Very nice. Curious on the background? Where did you get it, etc? Excellent work.

Very nice. Curious on the background? Where did you get it, etc? Excellent work. My son works in Minneapolis and during his breaks he hits what he calls the bull pens that are filled with 1 1/2 river rock. He usually has has 20 or thirty when he comes up north. I was looking yesterday morning for a reddish agate to face polish for a friend and there it was.

That's a beautiful stone with the crystals inside. Great job face polishing that, Billy!

That's an amazing opportunity for a break. I must say, though, if I had that opportunity, I might lose track of time. That's a very nice Laker.

That's a beautiful stone with the crystals inside. Great job face polishing that, Billy! I sent it to a lady who bought a ring. When she seen the stone pic she loves it and wanted a ring out I'd it. Little does she know yet it will be in her mailbox today. I guess she might be sending it back for a ring.

That's really interesting. I would have never even thought of trying that.

toiv0 Billy, that is a nice amethyst core on the LSA. It polished really well. Did you know it had an amethyst core before you started? I don’t have a lot of luck with quartzy Lakers. That one looks cool.

That one looks cool. I seen the faint amethyst in the quartz. I just put in on the wheels and it turned out fine. I find most of them polish ok. Some lots of pits but ok polish.
