These are the stones I separated from the candy rhyolite. A mix of mainly common chalcedonies and jaspers. These were also water tumbled in the 17 pound rotary barrels for a month with just water, then in the UV-18 fro a week with just water.

I have been thinking about trying to round & polish some stones without using any grit at all The rounding part would be the hardest part without grit. Works great for softer stones, as I have done this with softer copper ore and some other soft stones. The round up in a couple of days. The harder stones though like chalcedonies would take a very long time to round up unless maybe you had a humongous barrel as larger barrels speed the process.
