Rock tumbling Week 5

Amethyst, citrine, and jade I think? I'm not sure about the reddish ones, but I know there are garnets out here.

Another week and they should be shiny, according to the manual.

Out of curiosity, what tumbler do you use?

I don't know the model, it's very basic though. It came from Vevor for about $80. It handles a pound at a time and works fine. It came with all the grit and a big bag of cool rocks, too.

I am suddenly filled with the warming sounds of brooks in the Vincennes and Ohio River valley. Thank you for the pleasant walk down memory lane.

I could listen to the tumbler for hours. You're very welcome.

Thanks! I'm excited for the spring runoff to try some home grown rocks.
