Rock tumbling is a process that is popular with amateurs and professionals alike. This process polishes stones while keeping their natural shape. There are two types of tumblers. One uses a rotating barrel and the other uses vibration to grind and polish the rocks. Rotary tumblers are the most common and come in a great variety of sizes. If you are interested in tumble polishing your own rocks, see Lapidary Equipment for tumbling machines and supplies. Also see our Tumbling Materials page for rough rock to tumble.
On this page you will find a variety of tumble-polished stones from different locations all over the world.
