Hi I'm new to the group,always have been a rock hound!! Learned this at a very young age from my parents. I recently got re inspired because of the same liking of now our grandchildren!! We are looking for places to hunt for agates near the tri cities or surrounding areas. Also we just bought a rock tumbler and didn't do well getting them to be polished as they should have.. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, Thank you, Marie

Welcome from California. I know nothing about tumbling, but there are tumbling experts here. You’ve come to the right place!

Hey Marie...welcome to the forum from South Dakota! There's tons of information on tumbling in the Tumbling Forum.

Welcome to the forum Marie from Southern Nevada.
Some info on the types of stones you were tumbling and the processes you used can help in answering your question. A bad polish could be from several things such as too soft of rock, not cleaning grit out well enough between stafes, or poor grit and polish that sometimes come with the cheaper kits like National Geographic.
