I am obsessed with agates!! I have 3 tumblers running right now all Thumlers a model T, an A-r2 and a Model B. I have blue botswana agates in a few barrels and Madagascar agates in another then a mix of "tumble fodder " in the model B which is a mix of mohs 7 agates and jasper mostly. I take my time and am on week 13 on my botswana agates and they are in s3 FINALLY!! started from total rough and they are spectacular! I hope to learn a ton and I try new things and try to speed up my stage 1. I actually have a high rpm motor as well as low for my model B and am experimenting with high rpm for s1 on hard stone. Glad I found my way here and hope to learn a TON!

Welcome from CA! I agree.. you came to the right place for the obsessed.. I love your avatar You clearly have talents way beyond just finding all the best rocks in N.CA Nope can't take credit for that. A long time ago I used to know my way around Adobe but this was a creation from husband's cousin who has done band posters, skateboard decks, beer labels and dispensary logos.
