Over the Christmas Holiday, I was kindly given a small rock tumbler. Since it came with some polishing grit, and a bag of rocks to try it out on, I thought I would do exactly that. Unfortunately, I forgot to get a picture of the rocks before the process, but they were pretty dull, rough, not terribly pretty rocks. Here’s some photos of the tumbler, and the rocks at various levels of polishing.

Yes, the gal ’round here was very happy that I used her colander to wash my rocks in. Also, the whole process took about a month from start to finish, so it’s not a terribly quick process either.
Anyway, now I need to find some more rocks to purdy up.
