My daughter got her tumbler and rocks. She is thrilled along with her husband. She has started her research and watched Rob's videos. She should be joining here soon to pick y'all's brains. I can't wait to see her first batch. I bet she does the rose quartz even though I told her to save it for more experience.

My daughter did her first clean out and is hooked. She and her husband really enjoy it so far and are happy with the early results.
She hasn't joined here, yet. I hope she will.

That's really awesome to hear Tela! Thanks, Jason! This is my oldest daughter. She's more into hobbies. My younger daughter just waits for me to give her jewelry. LOL! She did sign up last night, but has not posted, yet. I know she is reading and she found Jugglerguy 's videos very helpful.

I bought a Lortone 33b off FB marketplace. Good description, booklet, etc etc. What arrived was a harbor freight tumbler with the stickers removed. My credit card company agreed it was fraud and did a charge back. The seller was nowhere to be found.

BUT, the seller refunded her money and shipping, which I thought was really unusual. She didn't use PP, she used a debit card, which was stupid. She learned her lesson and got lucky.

Last year I stopped by a local garage/yard sale and spotted a Lortone 45C sitting there. I asked the guy how much and he started to think about it and his wife came over and said that he'd told her he would give it free to anybody who had an interest in lapidary. Guy just said "it's yours!". He also had some Montana agates he had collected and threw those in! He told me he had hoped to get some pieces to have some jewelry for his daughters made up but decided tumbled stones weren't the answer. I thanked him profusely for the stones and tumbler then drove home, took out some of my best dendritic Montana cabs I had made and drove back to the sale. Guy was pretty surprised when I walked up and told him to pick several cabs for his daughters. He was very happy, I was very happy, it was a good day! I recently met a wire wrapper woman at my gem club who is a bit financially strapped at the moment and wants to learn tumbling so I have offered it to her to borrow and will give her those Montanas and some other agates I have lying around free so hopefully she can learn and maybe make some money too.

If I had a way to "like" this ten more times I would! Way to get on the "good side" of karma!
