Kinda smokey in here...
Second polishing attempt in my NatGeo 3lb with found landscape rocks...this little one must be one of my favorites from the clutch. Third picture is the dried batch having been toothbrushed and ready for a wash cycle.
I have a few to restart in stage one and a few here that I'm going to cut, the rest will be new pocket rocks and handouts for friends and clients.
Next batch I swear I'm holding out on stage one for like three weeks. These are much closer to what I want but I can see now where I've rushed and many of them are bruised. I started these on stage one without enough ceramics and then didn't go quite long enough. Pretty satisfied with 20 days in polish though, I swapped the polish grit out one time after ten days.... Wasn't sure if that was necessary but seemed like a good idea.
Many thanks to everyone here for looking and sharing! Love y'all! ♥️
