I assume that was running Coarse grit? What size grit? I would think that you would have ground those pieces away. Or is Chevron Quartz harder than normal Quartz?

I did lose some material but I like to have them really smooth. 5 weeks were in 36 and then the rest in 60/90. Almost all of my jasper/quartz/agate loads go for that long

Wow, I just pulled my amethyst after a week in 36/70 and it ate them up. They’re all more than 1/2 the original size. Did you shape yours first or just threw them in the tumbler?
