My mail man asked me what were in the heavy boxes that sounded broken. I told him they are for polishing he ask me if i could do two rocks he had since he was a kid. I think he is in his late 50s . He said he went back home to Jamaica one year to his Moms house and found them in his desk. He remembered finding them when he was a kid. I was i little worried that his rocks would disappear in the tumbler, after all this was my 3rd or 4 time tumble. But they turned out ok. Attachments:

I think the best part of tumbling is giving the rocks to people.
