The hardest stages are done and these are looking so good! Agates have so much personality and are so much fun to tumble. They may take forever in stage 1 but they are totally worth it.

All the intricate details in them are so neat!!

The colors are so vibrant in this batch! I love a good ol bag of random mixed stones. They spent 16 days in stage 1 and I am determining keeping them in stage 1 as a few are still quite rough, or moving onto stage 2 as they already look great. Either way this hobby is so much fun!

They were totally chill until I got up to leave an hour later. I got swarmed lol. About 6 stings in all but hey life happens and hopefully my immune system will be stronger for it.

Been tumbling for about 3 weeks. Still looking a little rough so back into stage 1 it is.

The first one is my absolute favorite but there are so many cool ones.

Both cloves came out of the same bulb. It has the texture of a gummy bear and no one in house knows how this could happen. Everyone in the kitchen was daring eachother to eat it but no takers.

His name is Rupert and he is 2.5 years old.

Recieved a bag a small crazy lace agate and found this amazing looking piece loading up stage 1. I think I'll keep this one rough as is because it already looks fantastic and I don't want to ruin that awesome triangle. What do yall think? Tumble or no?

Have 6 barrels going and it's still not enough.

Yes I got tetanus shot. Did I need stiches? Probably, but alas I do not have insurance. Neosporin and bandages will have to do.

My fifth finished batch this year. Bonus pic of them all at the end. This hobby is so much fun!!

Never seen a spawning bed this big. Came across this small lake on a hike 4 miles into the woods. It's way up high and the hike is not easy, but once you get there you can catch fish all day.
