It's nice to see that I'm not the only one discouraged by some pits in my tumbled stones, I have just finished running some green tree agate, about half have some pits or fractures. I'm a retiree on a fixed budget, can't afford a vibratory at this time. I'm learning to live with what I get, they still look pretty. Still learning things after 3 years of tumbling.

The frustration is real!

Nice.... looking forward to tumbling some.

Cool!!

You mirror my process pretty closely. I, too, am waiting for the vibratory tumblers to be available again. I really want the Thumler UV-10. Great video!

Just unpacked the Mini Sonic MT14 from Diamond Pacific. Can't wait to get started!

Most excellent video! Well done! I use the same equipment and process except that I don't have any polish better than your Aluminum Oxide "pre-polish." Where do you get it? That piece with the flash @46:00 is incredible! I'm hoping to get a vibratory tumbler as well for everything after stage 1, seems like the way to go! Subbed!

I get all my grit and polish from therockshed.com The Polish is a 2 micron (8,000 grit) aluminum oxide. I really do love that polish.

@@crystalwellnessstudio6171 I do as well but the polish they give me is simply labeled "Aluminum Oxide Polish" with out mention of grit size. Is there another one I should be looking for?

[@crystalwellnessstudio6171]

@@RagnarRocks nope, that's it!

@@crystalwellnessstudio6171 Ahhhhh, ok, thank you for the clarification!

Where did you buy that machine

[@crystalwellnessstudio6171]

All my rotary tumblers are Loritone and I purchased them from The Rock Shed.
