Makes the best slurry by holding grit to the stone..Cuts 1st gring in 1/2 half time...Made by Covington Engineering...5lb bag for $35.00 --well worth the money..

Went to the covington site, they have lots of things for lapidary/gem/glass work.
They have a brand of tumbler called Roll n Tumble. Anyone have experience with these?

Roll n Tumblers are great--Better constructed than Lortones..Try the one gallon one..

Birdseed, thanks. I thought they looked well-constructed and they have the spiral paddles in the tumbler, I guess kind of like a cement truck to move the rocks around.

Tex---You may want to rent a "cement truck" when you get enough rocks. Cement trucks are also good for making large quanities of ice cream for birthday parties..

Birdseed.... LOL. My hubbie had a cow when I mentioned I wanted a new tumbler!!!! We live in an apartment, so I understand why he doesn't want more "stuff" but, I WANT one.
