Nice work, I haven't done quartz yet. Thinking about trying some rutilated quartz for my girls.

Nice! I love quartz, for a simple rock, it can shine up good!

Nicely done! Here in NH smokey quartz and white quartz can be found everywhere, after granite its what you find the most of. I have tumbled up quite a bit of it and it usually comes out pretty good. They can be prone to chipping so having a well cushioned load is a must.

Thanks Guys! harrym we do have something in common. Ya walk the shores of Lake Michigan and that's about all you find is Granite most people don't know how to polish it.. Granite at least out of Lake Michigan has a pretty tuff Rhind on it so you need to pic up larger stones and tumble the crap out of em take off 1/4" of the Rhind the water has contaminates that screw up the surface so having patience is the key.
