Although I've emailed this company ( Little Gems) upon several occasions, but only to request information about stones or events.. So yes They have rock tumbling supplies also.

Hi Tiger,
I know your problem well enough. It seems we have to pay almost as much in post as we do for the materials.
I used UKGE last time - bought a 3.5kg tub of 80 grit. It was the cheapest place factoring in postage.
I use cerium oxide or aluminium oxide for polishing and wouldn't consider using anything else. I'm not using a huge amount now I have my lot-o vibe for polishing and have not purchased some for a while. However, I can send you some over for you to try if you like?
Regards Ian

Hi Iant,
I see that you have a Lot-O Vibe.
Assuming that you bought in the USA, what did the shipping cost?
Regards,
Derek

Regards, Derek Hi Derek, I bought mine used from a seller in the south of England who had imported it himself. I don't know how much he paid to do that. Keep an eye on e-bay and perhaps one will come up again? Regards Ian
