Nicely done. We have jars and other glass display vessels for tumbles. Probably not the best mix for wood floors and an earthquake area, but oh well. I've also simply given some away (to a teacher) for prizes for her young students.
I'm sure you'll find a good use for yours. Good job.

Nice tumbles. What to do with them? In addition to what aDave suggested: If there are any jewelry artisans in the area, they can always turn a nice tumble into jewelry with minimal expense. Some of the ones pictured are a pendant waiting to happen, either by wrapping, setting, or adding a cone to the top. I have seen beautiful lamps made in a double wall glass vessel. Outer area contains translucent rocks and the inner part has a small strand of LED lights. Same concept, but with a double wall drinking tumbler. They are available with a removable bottom to add what you want for decorations. These rarely tip over, due to weight. Mosaic tables. Edging is applied to a flat base. Rocks or other materials are scattered on top. Polymer sealer poured over the rocks. Long time to set, but well worth it. Another clear surface applied to the top if wanted. Even better When the surface below base is clear, as LED lights can be applied below. Just a few ideas.

Nice pile of shiny rocks. Great job on stage one shaping. Extra gratification tumbling your own finds too.
