Well I got a batch of flint done. It did not take a polish like I like, but the colors the tumbler brought out are very nice The fossils pieces I have are in stage 2, they disintegrated alot in stage 1. Hopefully they will not go to much firther. The colors in them are comeing out nicely.   The next project.  |

Nice batch, which ones are fossils? I like the red and yellow/mustard stones. Oh, welcome to RTH, I'm a bit of a newbie also.

It's pretty fun watching the stones transform from colorless or drab...to Beauties! That's what makes all that waiting worthwhile.

I have found that if I use a combination of 1/2 Cerium Oxide and 1/2 Aluminum Oxide, I even get a great shine on the pieces that I got a satin sheen on before. Prime example is my bloodstone.
