Tumbling Fluorite - What To Do (and not do)

This is a video of my first attempt at tumbling fluorite. Its a beautiful stone that proved to be a tough tumble. I did some right and some wrong and you can probably learn something from both. I did some things a little different than other I have seen and ended up with some really pretty pieces. I'd love to hear what you have done differently that did or didn't work and perhaps I can implement some new advice into my next batch. Thanks so much for watching and likes and subscribes are always appreciated!

Thank you! I'm going to try this with Script Rock. Great idea!

For stage 1, it looks like a small barrel, pretty heavily loaded, cushioned with media, reduced grit, and patience. For later stages, resist the urge to use the ultrasonic cleaner. Thanks for sharing your mixed results.

Is Utah a good place to live for rockhounding? Where else?

[@RockOnUtah]

I think that Utah and Nevada are about as good as it gets! We have tons of mineral resources here
