They would make good filler for the rotary After a month move them to the vibe

Once the vibe is up and going, I might put some in there.

Thanks all. Am glad that some can see the shine on these. My first try at tumbling something like this and keeping the integrity of the points, even though they were mostly broken.
Some good points are in rotary now. Survived 500/600 AO and are in 1200 pre-polish. Lots of pre-polished plastic medium, about 60%.

I have a few like this too, and often wondered how I could achieve the same result which you were looking for; to not round them square edges too much. So I really appreciate the advice on how to do just that. I hope to collect enough some day to fill 40% of a 6 lb. tumbler and give it a try. Thank you!

Moved the second batch from 1200 to final polish yesterday. Here are some examples of how they are looking. Some lost a little sharpness this time around. Am wondering if I should do some minimal grinding in places. The top one shows some roughness at the point.
