Crystal Wellness Studio is a Lortone believer for rock tumblers. We run our barrels 24/7 all year long and have no issues with the equipment. (Except that one time we overloaded the six-pound barrels on our QT66-but that was our fault, not the equipment.)
Model numbers for the tumblers we use:
3-1.5 is a 1.5-pound barrel capacity unit with three barrels
33B (we have 3 of these units) is a 3-pound barrel capacity unit with two barrels (per unit)
45C is a 4-pound barrel capacity unit with one barrel
QT66 is a 6-pound capacity barrel unit with two barrels
We buy our grit and ceramic media from The Rock Shed exclusively. The owner is awesome to work with and doesn’t screw you on the shipping. Customer service is top-rated in our book and he ships quickly. We even bought a Lortone tumbler from The Rock Shed once when Lortone itself was out of stock!
Tumbling rough we purchase from a variety of vendors. We wanted to compare product and shipping costs from a wide market. Let’s face it, not every vendor carries every rock, and every rock is not always in stock. We have some unboxing videos on the channel if you want to check that process out!
Some of our favorite vendors for rough rock in the United States are The Rock Shed, Gemsbymail.com, Kingsley North, and Stonebridge Imports out of Canada.
