These were tumbled straight out of the box they came in. They are trash slag from a glass bead operation. Note soft lavender lepidolite bottom center, polished on flat face and frosted on circumference.

You got this down to a science my friend!!! WOW! Strange glass this one. It is obviously soft and will tumble to nothing before you know it using SiC 60. But it takes a polish way quicker than other harder glass and much quicker than obsidian. Usually soft rocks are last to polish. This glass contradicts that rule.
