Which is better, the photos or the rocks? Am I too greedy to say both? Because those rocks are stunning! Thank you very much  |

My wife and I play a large role in the care of three of our grandchildren (ages 6, 5, and 10 months). The two older grandkids know of my interest in rock tumbling, and recently they gifted me with some rocks they had found:  That may be the best gift I have ever received  I emptied a 3 lb barrel this morning in order to start tumbling my gift. Hopefully I can get a better than expected shine  |

Sentimentality makes it so much better to tumble gifted rocks! Good luck with the batch.

Thanks Chris Those rocks are in the vibe now. Maybe I can make them shiny enough to wow the kids. |

So, the rocks my grandkids gave me are done (done enough). Hopefully they will like the results. Before: After:  In return, I have a couple of rocks for them. For my granddaughter, I have a piece of sardonyx that has colors she likes. And for my grandson, a piece of Mexican Crazy Lace:  ![]() |

Wow! Those really changed colors. Or was it the lighting was different? I am sure they will be more than pleased with them. Relly like the sardonyx too.

I love tumbling just for that reason! I never would have thought about tumbling those rocks… But look at them! They’re really pretty! I think your grandkids will love them, and I bet they will be finding a lot more treasures for you!

It was so cool of them to bring you rocks. |
