Polishing Pellets for rock tumbling

Many rock tumbling hobbyists recommend adding plastic pellets to your Rock Tumbler barrel in the final stages of polishing to add extra shine to your tumbled stones. The polishing pellets also protect the stones in the rock tumbler from bashing into each other as they rotate around the tumbler barrel, causing them to become cracked or pitted.

Assorted Tumbled Semi-Precious Stones

It is not always necessary to use polishing pebbles although we usually use them in the final 2 stages of rock tumbling. Harder stones such as agates and jaspers will probably turn out OK without using plastic pellets with your tumbling grits. However softer semi-precious Rough Stones such as snow flake obsidian generally will not take a high polish in a rotary rock unless plastic pellets are used with the grits the final stages of tumbling.
