My partner and I started tumbling rocks/stones as lockdown stress relief during Covid. We grew from a small kid’s version to multiple barrels of varying sizes, and are now the proud owners of a bazillion tumbled stones, primarily river/stream/glacial rocks. It’s an addiction! Now we are moving into more advanced tumbling (or trying to, at any rate) and are seeking advice regarding tumbling softer rock, such as calcites and fluorites, etc. Anyway, we’re glad to be here (I’m the mouthpiece, lol) and hope to pick up pointers and drool over everybody else’s pretties!
