So, I’m a glutton for punishment... i had ordered several ‘variety’ mixes, some from amazon and a couple from The Rock Shed. As well as some rock that I knew was softer... so despite being new, I started tumbling some of this... and here are my results so far! All MOLS hardness of 4-5.5 I cut everything into batches, and am still running some through polish, I didn’t take any pics of the ones going BACK into polish, or even further.... thanks for looking! I’m happy with how these turned out!

They look pretty good. Soft rocks are tough to do, at least for me.

That is difficult material to tumble for sure, and you did a great job to put a shine on those!
I am also about done tumbling some very difficult, soft, stones myself. And am going to post soon. But your beautiful, colorful rocks are going to make mine looks like duds. Hehe.
Thank you for sharing!
