Tumbled Rocks Fully Finished

I've finally managed to tumble these beach and river rocks to full shine. The cherry quartz has a few light cracks, but unless I tumble it to a small piece, it can't be helped.

These are so shiny, you have the urge to eat them! I tumbled them through all the stages for a full 2-3 months (most time spent in the first and the last stages) and now they're ready.

A new batch is in the double barrel Lortone tumbler once again.

Cyprus silver pendant - SOLD

A few weeks ago while on holidays, I went with hubby to the beach (in Paphos area, if anyone has been in Cyprus, will know where it is), for the particular reason of collecting rocks and pebbles for tumbling and cabbing. We came home with over 5 kg of rocks. It was really a fun day.

Among all those many rocks, I found this small stone a reddish serpentive (I've only seen yellow, brown and green serpentine until now). It was such a sweet stone, and just the right type, sort of oval, that I decided to cab it. So this is not only cabbed and wrapped by myself, but also collected by us. Talk about 100% handmade and 100% Cyprus item!
