My mom put a new batch of rocks into the rock tumbler today.  First of all, we broke up the rocks into pieces about 1/2 – 3/4 inch, some can be an inch but there can only be like one or two, or 16 ,000,000 in the whole batch.  First, we put the rocks into the drum, this is what they call the container that the rocks tumble in.  Next, we added coarse grit and water and put it on my rock tumbler.  I have a Thumler’s Tumbler.  Now we leave  it for 7 days tumbling then we rinse the rocks, add fine grit and start tumbling again.  I will post pictures of them on my website after each round of tumbling.

My Grandma sent me a space rock crystal growing kit in my advent calendar.  It is so fun, it is baking in the microwave right now.  In 7 to 14 days I will have pink or red crystals.
