Wink Any gemstone / rock tumblers out there :)

Any help welcome

Daughter got a rock tumbler for x-mas and we have polished the pack of rough stones that came with the kit

Where's a good place to order packs of rocks to polish online??

Cheers

Not sure if they'll have exactly what you want, but I get a lot of my Jewellry stuff from these guys. Especially with the dollar rate as it currently is.

It was a fair while ago that I was in Keswick, but there was a shop there selling rocks and gems etc. Don't know if it's still there, but if it is, at least it's not too far to travel, and you can see what you're buying.

Little Ginge

Thanks

I lived in Manchester for 13 years and have visited this place.... it's a long story LOL..... I used to use their diamond saws to cut up teeth into slices for examination.

I'm a dentist LOL

I checked out their website and it's HUGE !! So I was looking for something simpler...... Looks like a Sunday afternoon jobby hunting the stuff down

Cheers
