Hello from dream rocks, I am new to tumbling I have a tumble vibe 5 that i am learning to use. I also have a cab king that I use for cabbing. What I am trying to do with the tumble vibe is tumble my gem rough for faceting and am experimenting with finishing several cabs in the tumbler at once. I work with a lot of Montana agate, dendritic agate from madagascar a few agates from maine there's not much agate in maine to work with maine beryl and jasper. I would like to be able to use my tumbler to get as good or better finish than my cab king can. By the time I get to the 3000 grit my cabs look polished already this is the finish I am trying to accomplish with the tumbler. The stones that I have tumbled almost look frosted or hazy not clean and polished like on the cab king. Far as posting any pictures, well that has been just as challenging sometimes the threads are to I hit great thread everything disappears.
