Pretty cool rock! I have no clue what it is. If you're looking for a "perfect" tumbled rock, I think it might cause some problems as that fissure looks pretty deep, and it has that fracture as well. If you're ok with a tumbled rock that's NOT perfect, I'd say go for it...but you're going to need to get the grit out of that fissure after each stage...

Yeah, it would definitely require some extra attention at each step, that's for sure!

the first two images show quartz with some agate. the last image looks like the other rock may be some rhyolite.
