Has anyone tumbled this material before? The copper ores are a mix of different copper minerals and matrix materials. It would be hard to match up the hardnesses of the different stones. For tumbling I would go with something like the silicated chrysocolla, which ought to be beautiful. It is mainly dark green and brown. Occasionally turquoise blue or mutil-colored. But definitely hard enough to tumble. |
