#rocktumbling — Public Fediverse posts

Hey hey rock tumbling folks! For Christmas this year I'd like to ask for a rock tumbler. My grandpa tumbled Columbia river rocks all the time I was growing up, it was so fun! I inherited his tumbler but uh, I would not exactly trust the wiring. I'd like a new one.

If you have one and have thoughts on brands, quality, noise of machine, durability of machine, those sorts of things, I'd love to learn more.

My husband often asks: what do you plan to do with all these rocks you pick and tumble? This! Pack up lovely boxes and send them to friends and family for holiday presents, with a card detailing the gifts inside, including some Lake Superior agates and thomsonite. #rocktumbling #rockhounding #rock #lapidary

Small batch of my favorites out of the first three tumbler groups. #rocks #rockhounding #lapidary #rocktumbling

Decided to make the time to build up lists so I can maximize my Mastodon use. So you will see me promoting some lists as I build them. If you know of anyone that would be great to add, please let me know.

List 1: Rockhounding! This is my newest and most passionate hobby. Living on Lake Superior gives a lot of fun rocks to explore and tumble. So anyone who is into #rocks #rockhounding #lapidary or #rocktumbling (or if you know of anyone who is) just let me know so I can follow.

PS- expect to see more rock filled posts coming from my end! Including some local #agate finds.

In case anyone out there wants to help encourage my rock tumbling habit. (I need more ceramic media. So I'm taking a chance someone will get me some. LOL)

I can't believe I almost forgot to post this polished blue and gray and black banded agate slice I polished for #MineralMonday

If you'd like more information, I talk about it a bit on Medium here: https://medium.com/@amethystqu/banded-agate-a-forgotten-source-of-magick-9f72123690b6

Or feel free to comment or ask questions right here--

I talk a lot about this mysterious mineral, Labradorite, in my new book. The folklore as well as my cutting adventures...

My first batch of polished stones came out of my new Lortone yesterday. Did I post a brag photo yet?

i could grumble more about the boil water advisory in my neighborhood but i guess it's a chance to use up the bottles of water I had leftover from hurricane season... Anyway, while on the topic of water, here is a bird bath I made with some jasper I cut up... the birds love it...

#introduction
I'm all new here, like many of you I'm looking for a less toxic social media alternative to Twitter. My #hobbies include #crochet, #gardening, #rocktumbling, and surviving day-by-day in the face of the soul crushing monotony of adult life. I run a non-profit #arboretum for a living and I love the amazing stories #trees have to tell us.

Anyone here tumble rock? Here's a photo I took a while back from my hobby efforts. Before versus after the rotary tumbler. #rocktumbling #hobbies #crystals
