This classic rock tumbler kit polishes rough rocks to produce attractive gem-like stones, perfect for making your own jewelry. The electrically operated 110-volt rock tumbler does all the work in polishing about 8 ounces of rock per batch. Just add rough stones and the polishing grit to get started.
The entire rock polishing process takes about 3-4 weeks and uses two grades of grit plus a final polish. This kit comes with enough grit to polish a 1/2-pound batch of rocks; a refill is available. For kids and adults ages 10 and up.
A 1/2 pound of rough semi-precious rocks like amethyst, jasper, agates, carnellian, quartz, and snowflake obsidian
Two grades of polishing grit (0.63 oz coarse and 1.02 oz medium grit), and 0.81 oz of finishing polish
Glue and jewelry/keychain mounting hardware: make necklaces, pins, earrings, and charms

We ordered this for our 10yo grandson who is our little scientist and picks up rocks from every outing. The tumbler looks great and we think it will only add to his interest in his rocks. We're very happy with the promptness of delivery and all looks to be in great shape. Glad you sent along a catalog, have a feeling there will be many more science interests stimulated for this young man, glad to have found this site with real working tools for young people.
