What did the pea gravel look like after a week? Is it possible that the grit is breaking down this softer stone instead of grinding the fossils?

I usually tumble larger pieces of obsidian and don't have any troubles; the trick for me is using a lot of smaller pieces of filler. I keep a bucket of 1/4" - 1/2" agates specifically for these instances. Please post your progress and share any tips that you come across.

Morning Stretch. for regular agates and jasper, here is my process:
46/70 SiC: until shaped 120/220 SiC: 7 - 10 days Pre Polish (AO): 7 - 10 days Polish (AO): 7-10 days
For the most part, these steps work for me but others have different and equally effective processes

Is snowflake obsidian tougher to shine up than some of the other obsidians?
