This is the second of two videos about tumbling Lake Superior agates. In the first video, I tumbled them for nine days in a vibratory tumbler only. In this video, I tumbled those same rocks for several months in a rotary tumbler, and then finished them off in a vibratory tumbler for a week. There is quite a difference.
The first video: Lake Superior Agates - Vibratory Tumbled
Here's the method I use to tumble the way I did in this video: Tumbling Crazy Lace Agate - A Tutorial
Recipe:
Rotary tumble using coarse grit, such as 46/70 silicon carbide. Check rocks weekly and set aside any that are acceptable.
Lot-O Tumbler:
2 days with 2 Tablespoons 220 or 120/200 silicon carbide grit
3 days with 1/2 teaspoon 500 aluminum oxide grit and 1 tablespoon borax
2 days with 1/2 teaspoon aluminum oxide polish and 1 tablespoon borax
Optional: burnish for 2 hours or more in 2 tablespoons of borax

Kingsley North is a lapidary store in Michigan's U.P. They make a great cab machine and sell many other brands too. They have a huge selection rough rock, tumblers, grit, jewelry supplies etc. at good prices. I buy most of my coarse grit from here in 45 lb. bags. It's the best price I have found. If you buy using the following link, I make a small commission.
