Subject: Rock tumbling

Posted by: rayven80

I got a rock tumbler for Christmas last year. It's not a great one, but it works. I've been tumbling sodalite mostly, after a mishap with the National Geographic mix. Does anyone else tumble rocks?

I never have but I do like soladite. What was the National Geographic mix? What happened with it?

The National Geographic mix is a mixed bag of rocks. A lot of them have different levels on the Mohs scale, so when I tumbled them together, some of them turned out bruised. So they will have to be redone with rocks of the same hardness. There's a lot more to this than I thought there was, but I'm learning and the sound of the tumbler is somewhat soothing. Kind of like a white noise machine that makes pretty things.
