🪨 HOW TO USE YOUR ROCK TUMBLER

Rock tumbling is a simple 4-stage process that gradually turns rough stones into smooth, polished gems.

1. COARSE GRIT

Fill the barrel ½–⅔ full with rocks. Add coarse grit and enough water to come close to the level of the rocks.

Close the barrel securely and tumble for approximately 7 days.

2. CLEAN

Empty the barrel and wash the stones and barrel thoroughly. Do not pour the slurry down your sink.

3. REPEAT

Repeat the process with progressively finer grit:

Stage 2 – Medium Grit: 7 days
Stage 3 – Fine Grit: 7 days
Stage 4 – Polish: 7 days

Always clean the stones and barrel thoroughly between each stage.

✨ REMEMBER

COARSE → MEDIUM → FINE → POLISH

Each stage removes scratches from the previous stage. The stones will only develop their final shine during the polishing stage.

⚠️ IMPORTANT

• Do not overfill the barrel.
• Do not skip stages.
• Keep coarse grit away from the polishing stage.
• Not all gemstones are suitable for tumbling. Use durable stones such as quartz, agate and jasper.
• Some stones may require an additional week in a stage.

Be patient and enjoy the process! 🪨✨
