Heck yeah, I’ve fixed my polishing issues and now I have so many shiny rocks! I even went back and re-polished a few from the first batch. If you're so inclined, you can so see the photos of the raw rocks I tumbled a second time [here]. Here are the finished products, and there are progression photos below.


 

These are the progression photos (over ~5 weeks), and rocks tagged with blue are ones I collected myself, and ones tagged with red are ones I bought:



Check out that giant bar of amethyst!!! I want to keep all of these, but if I don’t start getting rid of them soon, I’m going to be drowning in rocks, even more so than I already am. Might set up an Etsy and sell them for cheap or something.

Some of these I took out at different stages and didn’t put back in because they were too soft, which is why a few stay the same throughout most of the progression.

Also, behold, the fugliest tumbled rock I’ve ever seen:

It was dyed completely pink originally (it was actually pinker than in the first progression photo because I started tumbling it before taking a picture), but whatever dye they used seeped into parts of it, so it’s half nice polished tan and half rough, kind of chalky brown-pink. Ah well.

Next batch in soon!
