So, I keep seeing these “titanium coated quartz” that are advertised as tumbling rough on amazon. Am I right in thinking that the coat would probably just tumble right off? Anyone tried these? The colors look so cool.

That stuff is made in a vacuum chamber. The metal coating starts as a vapor which is deposited on the crystal. Highly likely you are correct that the coating would simply tumble off.
