My daughter and I are new to rock tumbling. Can anyone recommend a good book or field guide on rock identification? Any books that explain what types can be tumbled together? Is the Audubon guide any good?

The best book I've found is called "Handbook of Rocks, Minerals, and Gemstones" by Walter Schumann. Lots of photos, descriptions, localities, and an explaination of how to identify rocks.
Enjoy your new-found hobby, Ed
