Glad you are back at it. I want to break up some of my counter material and start tumbling it. Keep us posted on results.

Remember - one persons trash is another persons treasure. That being said - if it were me and I had too many polished stones and I was running out of uses for them, I would pick out the worst (yes, the worst) and just leave them around the neighborhood, parks, parking lots, etc. Children love finding pretty rocks and they would be thrilled to run across something like this at the park or creek. And your worst ones would be their best ones, you know what I mean? My daughter is 21 now but she still has not lost the love of picking up pretty rocks. (One reason I finally invested in a tumbler) I am brand new to tumbling - I just filled my tumbler for the first time today. I think we will be doing it for a long time though because we plan to make jewelry with the polished stones, and I know I could buy stones polished already but I kind of like the idea of doing it myself - even if they don't all turn out fantastic. The ones that don't fit what we are doing, will go around the parks for children to find. One good thing about rocks, they are never garbage. They can always go somewhere outside. There seem to be people who do this! 3 years ago I was on a beach in Oregon looking for agates, not finding a lot, and stumbled on a small pool about 2 feet deep with a gorgeous, fully polished agate a little over an inch across sitting fully exposed almost exactly in the center. Thank you!
