    🪨 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! 🪨✨
