What a cool looking rock. Those all look great. We’re they done in a tumbler or vibe or both? Thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks for sharing with us. 4 weeks in a rotary with weekly clean outs Then I did 4 days in vibe 220 (clean out after 2 days) 2 days 500 2 days in 1000 4 days in polish with a clean out after 2 days then I burnished them for an hour with borax

Thanks for the info. They really look nice. I didn’t get a 1000 grit when I ordered my QT-66 tumbler. I may have to look into ordering some, as I’ve seen so many people recommend adding that extra stage for a better polish.

Wow, I love the pink. I can't imagine where to find this material, but I think I am going to have a look to see if Rhodonite is in my neck of the woods. I think Rhodochrosite is the other material that I would love to find.
Well, for a contest winner, this was a great windfall. And the polish is super on them. Great job. These will be a really nice contrasting color in some of your bowls of other rocks that you have finished already for sure.
