Hello every one, new here and new to the rock tumbling world, know lots about crystals and gems but not much on making them smooth and more pretty. Which I need to learn because it can only help my sales grow.... right ?? LOL

You can tumble large rocks into palm stones or even polish the face of a stone, so much you can do and being here is a great start.

Welcome from the desert Southwest! You've come to the right place! You might be amazed in knowing the wide variety of techniques used to making crystals smooth or pretty. My suggestion would be a Flat Lap, or a Cabbing machine. But we've got folks here who have even used Dremel tools to perform the work. Best of luck!
