Tumble in course in half plastic beads. Use Borax to thicken. Might get gas so watch to see if tumblers need burping. Will take sevreal rounds od 60-90 course. Cannot be any, fractures, dents ,pits or vugs left when you move on to next stage or polish will stand out that is stuck in them. You will not be happy with final polish unless u use a vibe. I prefer Loto. Beware you will lose a lot of volume. More than half will grind away making them smaller. Cultivate a friend to do the vibe thing for you.

Thank you, I will follow your advice and for final polish I should get a vibe.

If you have a vibe then you only do stage one course grit in a rotary.
