I'm trying to get pictures of what a lump of concrete looks like after being tumbled and polished. Any info appreciated. Thanks

Tumbling concrete will make mud real quick. Concrete is very soft. If the aggregate is a hard stone they will polish up just fine.

I poured most of these. Old aged concrete tumbles best. They are all wet-not polished. They may be polishable in a vibe. Please keep post your progress. Love concrete, looks so cool tumbled. www.flickr.com/photos/67205364@N06/sets/72157635031954860super concrete mixes like some counter top concrete and new jewely mixes are probably doable. But old aged concrete is by far more tumble able.

The ones I poured had a high breakage rate. it takes a long time for concrete to dry out and set completely. It was some counter top concrete. New jewelry mixes may be your best bet, they started being marketed just recently.
