Took about a month for these to be ready. Definitely worth the wait. Gave them a nice wash cycle w Dawn dish soap and now they’re back in the barrel with medium grit. Progress is so exciting!

I would say the wait was worth the effort. They should do well from here on. Like the reds and greens.

Just a little update: the batch made it through Stage 2 successfully, and are running through Stage 3 as of today. I was surprised at how well some of the small-ish nicks on a few pieces came out completely. Everything is much smoother (and smaller, haha) than last week!

Smooth stones ! Stage 3 should be a shining blast Do you prep the rocks by pre grinding?

My first thought was VEGETABLE STEW. Thought I had accidentally hit the Recipe button!
Anyhow, good looking “stew” you have there!!

Smooth. Good roll 4th picture down That caramel brown stone I like those rocks Did you find it hounding I found all but the pinkish one during one of my daily walks around the neighborhood. There’s a small community park where you can kick around the gravel and find some tumble worthy stones. Not sure if you can call that full on rockhounding, but it’s been a great way to keep up the motivation for daily exercise!
