GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR TUMBLING

 Your results will vary based on the amount and type rock you are tumbling, the time of each tumble, and your desired results. The condition of the rough material will also dictate how long each step will take. For example, clean stones with nothing encrusted on them will not require tumbling as long as stones with material that needs to be removed from them. Keep detailed notes of your activities and adjust future tumbles according to your results.
