It's finally time to show my process of how I tumble my rocks. I use a rotary tumbler and ceramic media in this tutorial. While it says agates in the title, this is how I tumble all of my other rocks too. The steps are as follows: • Stage 1). 3 tbsp. 80 or 60-90 grit silicon carbide 7 days(repeat as needed) • Stage 2). 3 tbsp. 220 grit silicon carbide 7 days • Burnish Stage). 2 tbsp. borax 4-48 hrs. (these stages are optional) • Stage 3). 3 tbsp. aluminum oxide 10 days • Burnish Stage • Stage 4). 3 tbsp. polish aluminum oxide 2 weeks • Burnish Stage • to purchase materials check out https://www.rockshed.com/ • Links for specific materials: • Rock for Tumbling: https://www.rockshed.com/product-cate...
