My Mom was always finding stones in my pockets. Lol Now the tumbling bug has me and I’m looking to buy my 3rd tumbler soon. Whoo hoo!

Looks great! Lots of good shine and color in that batch! Some of them remind me of lucky beans

Awesome job! They look great! What tumbler are you using? My first tumbler was a National Geographic that my husband bought me for my birthday last year. I did some research before I started tumbling and ran across Jugglerguy’s video about the NG tumbler on Michigan Rocks. Thank goodness, because the directions provided from NG weren’t very good, and I quickly realized I needed a ‘serious’ tumbler. Enter the Lortone 33B. So, I ran these in Stage 1 on the NG tumbler, ran Stages 2-3 on my 33B and finished in a polish-only barrel on the 33B.

Excellent job on your first batch! Nice and shiny. Thank you! Waiting and wondering about the shine on that first batch was torturous! Lol

Those came out great! Way better than my first batch! Thanks so much! I have Jugglerguy to thank for that. I watched his videos over & over throughout the process. I appreciate his attention to detail.
