Hi all

I am looking for a few LFB’s of ~3/4” to 2” mixed tumbling rough. Ideally colorful materials that can captivate a 6 year old

I am not looking for expensive material, just “pretty” and hopefully fairly idiot proof to tumble (read that as easy for a novice to rotary tumble for shaping them vibe for polishing)

I purchased some mixed materials from the rock shed and its okay, but not colorful. I guess anything along those lines, except “brighter”.

I no longer have saws or grinding equipment so I am looking for tumbler ready sizes. If anyone has good online shops they can recommend, that would be great as well.

Thanks everyone.

Roger

Also kingsley north. I buy most of my rough from the rock shed. There are some on here who will sell rough too.

If that doesn't interest a 6 year old, nothing will
	I can't tell if thats some Gneiss Schist, or that Schist is Gneiss. All I know is don't take it for Granite

I must have just leveled off at 6 many decades ago because I still like Crazy Lace.
