Greetings to all. I am new to the world of rock tumbling and have two tumblers, one is a NAT GEO and the other a TUMBLE VIBE 5. Would anyone be so kind as to offer tumbling advice on these stones?
Thanks.

Brazilian agate is a great easy tumble. Always turns out good for me. Course takes a long time (6 to 8 weeks minimum) but is worth it. Graveyard point should also tumble well as long as it is well sealed. If it is real plumey I would save it for cabbing instead but I have seen some wonderful tumbles with plume agates, just be sure to cushion the loads in the later stages to avoid chipping.

Welcome boxofrox from WA. I haven't tumbled either of these. I would like to try both at some point. Good luck.
