Tumbling for Christmas presents! Mary and I decided to run a tumble so we could use some of our rocks as Christmas Presents this year! We've become pretty addicted to polishing rocks. :)
We found some more "Hematitic quartz" or "Fire Quartz" and we're finally tumbling some of the BLUE QUARTZ that we've found! This is Part 1 of our process, and we should have some really nice results just in time for Christmas!
