Starguy Thank you Brent! Its mostly a mix of rock they send when you buy the nat geo tumbler. Bought a new 3 lb one so I threw those in. Congrats on the new tumbler. Now you have two rotaries, right?

I know what you mean. Two QT-12s running coarse won’t keep up with one 33B, at least with agate. Maybe with softer material they would keep up better.
You polished a lot of rocks this year. What batch is this? I have batch 10 in pre polish now.

ashley Very nice! I really like the black spotted Dalmation pieces. We have glass pasta jars filled with polished tumbles in our kitchen, cause, you know, tumbled rocks are prettier than pasta.

The vast majority of those runs were vibe only rocks that never seen the rotary. 10 batches is a lot for rotary only!

I’m running out of glass jars to put rocks in and places to put the jars! BUT ashley all rotary is very relaxing to some. I have 2 cheese wheel boxes from a store close to my sticks and bricks. I padded them with thin foam from HL and pretty fabric. Going to put them all in there for now
