The final stage of the petrified wood. So good so far but i need to temper my expectations while they're wet.
#crystals #rocktumbling -
Ok so putting all the stuff ready for Step 2 off to the side and I'm just making this tumbler dedicated to the whittling down bigger stones. So step 1 again expect I'm throwing the Beryl (Emerald) back in.

Up next is the Blue Agate, and it's coming out.....slow. ya dont expect these to be necklace ready any time soon. 😂

I'm so pissed at myself. Due to preparing for the Arkansas trip, i didn't even touch these rock tumblers for almost a month. Heck, some of them could have been completed by now. Like the Petrified wood, which is looking great.

You know i didn't want to smash the Blue Agate to make sure i get a really good necklace worthy piece. But good land these suckers are hard to whittle down. 😂

So glad i did Step 2 again on these. They are looking so good. But lets dry them off before the final verdict.

Blue Agate is coming in great. I'm feeling 1 more step 1 should do the trick.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. Now that the family is gone i can reclaim the table and get back to work. Going for step 2 again to see if it can better smooth out these holes without being too rough compared to Step 1 grit.
#crystals #rocktumbling -
Two weeks of stage one grit and they seem unchanged, and that's because they are. Somehow, all the grit sank to the bottom of the barrel and created a cement-like layer of fine ceramic media and grit that never got incorporated into the mix. I've never had that problem before. When I get the obsidian rolling again, I will be giving the barrel a really good shake before I put it on the rollers. Hopefully that solves the issue. #rocktumbling #rocks #rockpolishing

Blue Agate is still not at that right size im wanting, so 1 more step 1 will hopefully do the trick.
-
Now onward to the Blue Agate and the randos. Lets see how well they did. See glance they look good but the the right desired size.
-
It's looking good. I hope it all works out for the best. Let's add all the petrified wood and scrap stone for weight and see what happens.
-
This right here is the final step 1 tumble for the petrified wood. I feel that these are the right size to continue on to step 2 as for the Beryl (Emerald) that's getting put to the side.

Yay! The Christmas gift my hubs got me finally arrived. In barrel one: a mix of agates and one piece of jasper. In barrel two, snowflake obsidian. I am SO happy! #rockhound #rockpolishing #rocktumbling #rocks #rock

It looks good. Some are ready to continue on to step 2, so let's add some more to the mix.

Progress is slow, but no one this hobby/business was going to be easy. Adding in some random stones to help with the crunching.

Petrified wood is coming in.....slowly.
#crystals #rocktumbling -
Nice and glossy, and just in time, my wonderful partner who is getting our Rose Quartz ready for our Valentines Day sale.
ATTENTION!!! We will not be at Traders Village Houston on Feb 7th and 8th. I will be out of town visiting a new wholesaler.
#crystals #rocktumbling -
Final step for the Rose Quartz and Llano Quartz. Lets see if they came out glossy.
ATTENTION!!! We will not be at Traders Village Houston on Feb 7th and 8th. I will be out of town visiting a new wholesaler and placing new items at the Waco shop.

Ok, I'm slightly regretting not taking a hammer to the Petrified wood because, boy, these suckers are tough to whittle down.

Looking good. Let's do another set. Stay safe out there.
-
Just because I'm not a Traders Village today does not mean I'm not working. The work must go on. Here's some more Agate for you. Hope yall are staying warm.
-
Sadly, there is no glossy finish, so onward to Step 5. Also, I'm taking a fellow tumblers advice, and I'm lowering the time to 7 days.
Attention!!! We WILL NOT be going this weekend due to the weather. On Jan 24th and 25th. Please stay warm.

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

Before my tumbler died about 6 months ago, I used to tumble batches of rocks on the regular. My tumbler died in the middle of a batch of stage three leopard jasper, just needs a good stage four polishing and they'll be good to go! Idk if the husbeast will repair or replace my previously-owned machine. We shall see. #rocktumbling #rocks #rockpolishing #rocktumbler

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.

If anyone wants to fund my #rocktumbling habit, I've added items to my #wishlist I'm especially running low on grit & polish. But I've got big #medicalbills to pay so I can't afford to buy any myself. Got to prioritize.

Now I don't actually expect strangers to buy me stuff. But because I've got my rock tumbler going again for the 1st time in months I'm going to take a chance & post my "SHINIES!" wish list just in case.
