Many have been in the rotary tumblers bouncing around between 120 to polish and back. Used Tin Oxide this time, for 12 days, and came out with some decent gloss. The macro shots show there could be more work to smooth out the surfaces even more but happy with the progress I've made with these over this last year. Have to say I appreciate everyone's help and look forward to 2019.

Nice job! Beach pebbles never looked so good.

Those turned out well. Beach rocks can be pretty hit and miss due to the varying hardness. You did good.

Nice looking batch. As good as can be expected from beach finds.

I’ve also done lots of beach rocks, and I don’t think I’ve had any turn out better either. Nice job!
