I saw a rock tumbler on sale at Harbor Freight and thought I’d give it a try. Besides polishing rocks, it can also be used to make sea glass. Spending my summers in Rhode Island we would always forage for sea glass at the local beach, but today almost everything is made out of plastic these days so it’s much harder to come by. Unless you have a tumbler.
Polished Rock Game – I tool a photo of the rocks before tumbling, laminated it and the objective was to match the after to the before.
These rocks are from the Rio Grand in Rio Rancho, NM – Before tumbling.
