There are some really nice rocks in there! What size is the tumbler you use? Also, I know I have seen them recently but have forgotten the name, what are the rocks in the bottom of the 5th pic (clear with white or pink lines)? Thanks

These are from work we have a mini sonic (4 lbs), three UV-10’s (10 lbs), a UV-18 (18 lbs), and two UV-45’s (45 lbs).

Well now I know what I'm gonna do when I get a vibe... polish smoky quartz crystals!! I've never seen anyone polish the crystal points where they retain their shape but slightly rounded, those are absolutely stunning!

Always beautiful color and variety in your tumbles. I love looking through them! That snakeskin agate is pretty fascinating - one where you want to retain some of the outer
