Have been using group of Mohs stones and am wondering if anyone uses mohs hardness picks and if so where is the best place to buy them?

Easier and more accurate. For what purpose?

Making sure all the rocks in the tumbler are close to the same hardness is the reason I'm asking.

I bought a set of Mohs hardness picks from www.littleredstore.com that is where I bought all my tumbling stuff from. It was $89.99 I’m new to this so I bought a set because I can’t tell one rocks hardness from another 😆 Steve Hart wrote a great book 📖 called Modern Rock Tumbling that I also bought from his website. Hope this helps you. Patty Naumann

Thanks for all the tips. Can you buy them individually like a 3, 5, 7.?
