Bahia agates that I started on April 19, just finished today. They were freshly scrubbed and wet in the first pic, and I tried to put them in the same positions in the second. A couple are MIA, I think they're in barrels that'll be finished later this week. Super pleased with the transformation in these!

And a bonus pic of my other new obsession, itty bitty carnelian nodules. I didn't take a pic of those rough but I love them!

Just got the email today and the coupon for the tumbler at Harbor Freight is back on until July 5th! Apologies if someone else has already posted this, but I hadn't seen it yet!

Had a hell of a time with this batch through my own error... first go around I got a little overly enthusiastic with the ceramic, and there wasn't enough room for them to polish as a result. Probably unnecessary but I took them all the way back to stage 2, included the 1500 stage that I normally skip, and ended up with a fantastic polish the second time around!

Quartz, tiger's eye, jasper, agate, and a special guest of a dirty rock that I found right outside my apartment on the last slide.

There's a bit more material that wasn't quite as pretty, but I'm stunned by how gorgeous these rocks are. I doubt I'll have any done in time to enter but I can't wait to tumble them all the same, the patterns are just incredible and my bad photography doesn't do them justice! They're even prettier when they're wet. 😍
