Got a decent shine on these....When I do shows , I have the 2x3 velvet satchels and let them fill one up of tumbles for 3 dollars...It is by far the best seller of my set ...Good luck with the show...John

John - We will do the velvet bags next time for sure. That would totally save a ton of time sorting and pricing the way we did this time. I knew there had to be a better way!

Wayne - I am not sure why but we have had pretty good success with all of our mixed rock batches. We rough everything together in our lortone rotary barrels and each we week we inspect and pull out anything ready go to the next stage. So some rocks may stay in 60/90 for months and some may be pulled out after a couple weeks. As soon as we have 3-4 pounds set aside they go into the loto vibe tumbler where they usually spend 48 hrs in 120/220 48 hrs in 500 48 hrs in 1000 and 48 hrs in A/O polish and then a 24 hr burnish in borax. The batch I show here was just rushed a bit and even skipped 1000 and burnish and they still came out pretty darn good.
