- General DiscussionMeeko's Serape Jasper has become my favorite tumble these days. Each rock is so unique and multi-faceted and they take a beautiful polish without a lot of muss and fuss. Love this stuff!
- General DiscussionWe found this piece of quartz while out rockhounding. Dug it out the ground with a stick lol. Decided not to tumble it in stage 1 much so it kept its size.
- General DiscussionGetting ready to fire up my first barrel of Meeko's serpentine. With a Moh's hardness of only about 6.0, any tips out there for a successful result? I have vibratory tumblers but in the dead of a Minnesota winter, I prefer not to use them - they're messy, noisy and labor intensive so I'm hoping to do this with rotary only. That may be a non-starter for some of the experienced tumblers out there. If so maybe they need to wait a few months! Advice? Thanks! 😊
