Hi everybody, New member from Scotland. Hope everybody is staying safe with everything going on right now. Would anybody happen to know the best way to tumble Amazonite, got a batch but never tumbled it before. I know its softer the some rocks so I don't want to go straight in a tumble it the way I would other rocks. Any suggestions are very welcome

Welcome from Virginia! I don't do a lot of tumbling, so I can't really help much. Someone here will be able to help, I'm sure.

Amazonite is beautiful, but frustrating. Run your first stage longer, then keep each subsequent stage to a minimum to hopefully cause less undercutting.
