Some of the Dallasite from BCrockhound fresh out of stage 2, now going in 500 sic in my QT6. I just love tumbling this stuff and can't wait for the weather to break so I can cut some of the bigger ones.

It's shaping nicely. Is it undercutting at all?

Those are looking good. Should finish up nicely. Dallasite is great for tumbling and cabbing.

Dream stone for rotary tumbling! Here they are after a week in ao polish. Sorry about the lighting but the rain has begun so kitchen lighting is all we have for now. I have just started teaching a gardening class for kindergartners and am really excited to take these in for their water garden project!

Looks great! Can't wait until we get a barrel open so we can start ours.
