My first attempt at tumbling agates that I found at a creek near my house. They turned out a little rough around the edges but very nice other than that.

I know some of the pics are blurry and the colors and patterns don't show up the best in the world. A flashlight and hand is all that I had available. Haha!

Any suggestion on how to avoid "rough cloudy" edges?? Thanks for looking.

A bit more tumbling and the use of beads in the medium and polish phase to push the abrasives into the pits. That's a good first go and you scored some nice agate.
