It polishes beautifully. Tami

My bloodstone tumbled for 2 weeks in 60/90 grit and a week in all the other grits and polish, and this was before I started using tripoli and 1000 grit.

Here are some pieces that I found that I hadn't wrapped yet.

You can really see the different colorization.

I thought about getting some but Had trouble deciding if it would tumble ok- looks like it shines up real nice! Oh and the wire wrap was very cool!
