I have a small amount of tumbling aquamarine but still not enough to get the barrel 50% filled. Would you add media or another stone?

Clarification needed. Heading says Topaz, body of post says Aquamarine. Not that I have much input either way, just for clarity.

Ah, it's a mix of topaz & aquamarine because I think they are close to t he same hardness.

All I can add is that Topaz has a pronounced cleavage plane, don't put big stuff in there that might hammer it. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out, especially the aqua.
