This weeks batch had some stones that were worth taking the time to get close up photos to show the details. One more batch went in the lot-o and then all the tumblers will be silent. Very hard to keep a steady supply of quality agates. Enjoy the show. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Thanks for looking Chuck

All good. Particularly like the curve in the Tiger Eye on 4 and 5. Number 6 and number 15 also get my vote.

Number 8 is the bees knees for me! Another great batch...and I can see why you say quality agates are hard to find...I think you found all the ones available at the moment!

Do I see a couple gorgeous OJ in there?

Can never go wrong wrong with some Bahias and Bots, especially when you take the time to really reveal their inner beauty like you do. Drummond Island Rocks what is #3?

Always amazing material you come up with. I’d love to see pics of some of these before their journey to perfection.

I process too many rocks to be messing around with individual before and after photos but I did take pictures of a bunch of the rough groups on several types of stones so maybe I'll make a post of before and after groups.

Always perfection! Of course, I love the Bloodstone and that little polka dot fella in #18 is absolutely adorable.

Whenever I see your tumbles it pushes me to better my own. So often I will keep a stone in that I probably shouldn't because of a flaw that if ground enough to be rid of the flaw it would be dust. I need to learn to let it go.

fernwood rmfAll those crazy expensive exotic stones and you guys like #15 which was just misc. filler I tossed in. I like them too though that's why they got the close up. Pretty sure they are just run of the mill out west moss type agates. Chuck

No OJ. Guessing any that you thought might be OJ are Bahia agates in this batch. Chuck
