Hello everyone my name is Rob, I have never tumbled rocks before but would like to learn about it, I usually just cut the rocks then polish both halves and put them on my shelfs, I got my start in rock collecting from my great grandfather, he was a wealth of knowledge, since he is no longer around to answer my questions and left me with his entire collection I figured I should learn more things to do with rocks, I study many books and research online, I dont learn to good from books lol, I'm more of the hands on kinda learner, and once in a while I come a cross a rock that I have no idea what it is, and grandpa left me with plenty of those, so I figured it was time to find some nice friendly like minded people that could help me out a little along my journey of rocks and hopefully keep my Great Grandfather proud.

Welcome from Northern Arizona!
You've come to the right spot for like minded folks. We're all addicted. You can start learning about tumbling by reading some of the threads in the Tumbling Board. When you have questions, just ask. We have some world-class tumblers here and they are very willing to share their knowledge. (I'm not one of them.)

You came to exactly the right place, if you can't find the answer here there probably isn't one anywhere ! This group has the lapidary arts field pretty much covered !

We will have to get together after this crisis is over. Maybe a collecting trip to the badlands.
