Hello all, I have a question. I bought 1 pound of Smokey Quartz, 1 pound of White Quartz and 1 pound of Picture Jasper from the Rock Shed. Can I tumble all of them together? I figure I can mix the Smokey and White Quartz, but what about the Jasper? Do tell please. Thank's, Ed M.

Jasper and agate are relatively similar in hardness. You should be alright. You can check fairly frequently uring the coarse grind. If the picture jasper is rounding off too fast you can pull it out earlier than the quartz.

Quartz, Jasper, and Agate are all Chalcedony. I tumble them together frequently! Susan
