Hello, I am new to the tumbling world. Recently I mined crystal quartz in Arkansas. It was a thrill each time a clear specimen was found. Now I want to rid the larger pieces of the rust and then tumble them. I am trying to figure out the process of tumbling and what to use. I have a rotary tumbler. It came with walnut shell but I'm going to the local hobby store to get plastic pellets. Any help would be great.
