Better watch the sodalite or it's going to lose the battle with the others. I'd tumble it by itself or at least with other softer stones.

I have never been able to get a good shine on the Quartz when mixed with Agates and in my experience the Quartz and Agates will eat the Sodalite for lunch. Looking forward to how they turn out. Maybe I can get a new recipie.  |

I put sodalite in with everything else, it just gives me an excuse to check it more often! But yes, you will have to be careful if you leave it in.
Congrats on starting tumbling again!
