Some interesting materials before and after 5 days of step 1 tumble: Before, dry: ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53735323644_09575a53c4_b.jpg) After, dry: ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53734061392_c609f1dc5e_b.jpg) The left piece sets itself apart by rounding up much quicker than the rest. It also has a different tone in color, light pink purple and white while the others are more typically brown and yellow. A couple of these paler pieces are ready for stage 2. I will be quite happy with their look if they don't polish. ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53735329618_05a8f1e48c_b.jpg)

2024/06/15 Took some time in the morning to wash another batch from stage 1. Shown in the picture are the ones ready for stage 2. Since I have accumulated enough for a stage 2 run, the vibe started to work again. ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53794044629_c19baff1c4_o.jpg)

Most of these are materials that I have been tumbling over the past months, except several brown yellow pink Nguni Jasper pieces that are my new favorite tumbling materials.

Looking good. Are the greenish ones in the upper middle the ones you mentioned that you call jade in the other thread?

No, the one you pointed out, I don't remember where it came from, but all my self finds are either quite small or quite fractured, or they don't polish, or all of the above. I don't have much success in tumbling my self finds.
