These are pictures of the labradorite after its first 7 day coarse tumble. The rocks were pretty square since I diced them up on my WF saw. I started with a 3# piece of Lab which I did not photograph. I added 1/4 cup of coarse grit and a cup of tile spacers. You can see a little fire in all the rocks.

I did not strain out the mud because I want to keep the broth thickened up. I'm sure I'll have to thin it some next week. All advice will be well received.

My advice... KEEP AT 'ER!! Those are lookin' good so far! One of these days, if I ever stumble on to a good price on rough Labradorite, I will DEFINITELY have to tumble some myself.
