I'm really happy with my recent tumble of Pink Calcite! I'm glad it turned out well because Calcite comes in so many great colors, so I can tumble them all  This batch only took about 17 days from start to finish and I used dry polishing.

Nice. I want to try the dry polish technique soon. I highly recommend it - it's a game changer and can be used in the vibe as well  |

Great video & excellent results! This is the first batch of calcite I remember seeing. I didn't know it would tumble. Do you know where the calcite was found?

This is Calcite I bought through GemsbyMail.com. They have a great selection of many colors of Calcite. I was really, realllly nervous to try it, but with careful watching every day I was able to get some nice pieces. |

THAT stuff is tricky to get any reflection on. Double soft. Congrats on calcite. You mastered the dry tumble, am envious.
If you can get a polish on soft materials it sure does shorten the coarse grind step.
