I run them till they are the shape I like and, ideally, past the imperfections. The rocks tell me when they are ready to move on, if this makes any sense. Sometimes my criteria will change depending on a pattern I don’t want to lose or if it’s one I really like and afraid it will grind down into nothing. The higher quality of rough going in the less mass the stone should lose in ideal situations. I like tumbling stuff I find so it’s a given I’m going to lose more mass than decent quality rough from somewhere like The Rock Shed. Hope this helps. Most of my rocks are stuff I found, so I totally get that. I have Mexican lace agate and Zebra Jasper going right now those did come from rock shed, and they did not dissappoint on the quality of the rocks OR the grit I got from them! Candy was a nice touch too even tho I should not have ate it being Diabetic lol
