Barrel changing day!!!!
In order of photos
1. Michigan Stones going into stage 3 and they are shaping up nicely, that little Petoskey stone is so cute! 🥰
2. Black onyx, staying in stage one to shape up a little more, so pretty!
3. Petrified wood, staying in stage one to shape up a little more as well. Such an awesome stone to work with.
4. Rainbow moonstone, some are staying in stage one and some will wait until next week to go into stage two. Love this stone but geez is it a pain in the butt to tumble since it's a softer stone.
Hope you all have a great day and get some of that sunshine!

Barrel changing day!!!! In order of pics ..
1. Petrified wood.. staying in stage one. Some of the colors and markings are starting to come out!
2. Michigan stones... Always love these! Going into stage two
3. Onyx... Staying in stage one and probably will have to go a couple more rounds in stage one, it's such a hard stone
4. Moonstone... One of my favorites but a bu**er to tumble, they will stay in stage one for another week to shape up a little more.
Hope everyone is enjoying these nice fall days and having a fabulous day 🪨♥️
Moss agate quick facts:
1. It is a semi- precious gemstone made of chalcedony
2. The green, sometimes brown or red inclusions in the stone are made of iron oxide, manganese or chrome
3. The stone itself without the inclusions is clear or milky quartz
4. It is usually formed from weathered volcanic stones
5. It is found in India, Brazil, Uruguay, central Europe and certain parts of the United States
6. European farmers used to hang moss agate from trees and the horns of open when plowing to encourage successful harvests
7. Some people believe it has holistic benefits such as improving circulation, reducing stress and promoting emotional balance
The more you know :) I will add extra photos in the comments. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Barrel changing day!!!
In order of pics:
1. Mookaite.... Going from stage three into four!!!! Only seven more days to high shine!
2. Golden quartz... Also going from stage three into four!! Had to remove a couple since they looked like they might chip, polish stages are so scary sometimes.
3. Rose quartz.... Going from stage two into three, seems to be polishing up nicely.
4. Moss agate.... Also going from stage two into three. When I was rinsing them i noticed so many more crystal inclusions in them, going to be so beautiful when they are done, think these are my favorite right now!
What are your favorite stones from these barrels?
Please feel to like and share. Hope everyone has a great day!!

Barrel changing day!!!! The first four pictures are the barrels I changed today and the last few are just some of my favorite stones in the barrels.🪨🪨 In order of the first four pictures:
1. Beautiful moss agate, they are going from stage two into three so that means only two more weeks to shiny stones!
2. Mookaite is also going from stage two to stage three so again only two more weeks!
3. Golden quartz is going from stage one into stage two!
4. Rose quartz is also going from stage one into stage two!
These stones are really starting to show their fantastic beauty. A few pieces of the moss agate have crystal inclusions and they are so pretty, I tried to get some photos of those. The mookaite is just so pretty, the maroon coloring is my fave! Golden quartz is really shaping up to be so pretty with all its stripes. Rose quartz is showing its beauty, not the pinkest of the rose quartz I have done but still beautiful.
Hope everyone has a fantastic day. Feel free to comment and share ♥️

Barrel changing day!!! Today we have ( in order of pics):
1. Golden quartz... Going out of stage one into stage two!
2. Mookaite... Also going from stage one to two! I could have done another week in one but I would like to try to keep that jagged shape as much as possible.
3. Moss agate..... Will be staying in stage one for another week, just not where I want it
4. Rose quartz... Will also stay in stage one for another week, still pretty rough.
Until next week.. hopefully. Everyone have a great day and enjoy this sunshine!!!!
