Rock tumbler UPDATE! I started a barrel of Lake Superior agates 9 days ago and after inspecting them… they were not ready to move onto stage two. I ground out some pits on the stones to hopefully reduce the time these stones need in stage one. I put them back in stage one with the 60/90 grit. We will check back on them in a week and hopefully can move onto stage two! Tumbling rocks takes time and patience! #rocktumbling #tumbling #rocks #lapidary | Agate Dad

Rock tumbler update - part 3! This batch of Lake Superior agates had to spend extra time in stage one due to some putting! They look much better this time around so they’ll be moving on to stage two and will spend a few more weeks in that stage before another update! I’m tumbling these gems in my Tumble Bee rock tumbler, it’s linked in my profile. Follow our page to see the progress! #tumbling #rocks #lapidary | Agate Dad
