Like they say one person's trash is another person's treasure! You could use a classifier screen to collect those broken points. I love how the clearer ones look like wet ice chips, they are awesome. Keep up the great videos and God bless you and your family.
I think they turned out lovely. They are super clear and smooth. They really are gorgeous! I especially like the smokey quartz pieces. They are just so gorgeous! I've seen people who have tumbled pieces before and used them decorations or jewelery. Whatever you do with them, i know it will be something that honors the beauty and depth of the crystals, because they deserve it! The sound of them in your hand or under it, is an amazing sound! Thank you so much for sharing.
Tumbled or rough stones are both beautiful in there own ways, it's just your preference of which one you love most. I myself love both ways! Lovely quartz! ❤️😁
amazingly pretty... clear. unlike homogenous glass, they have their inclusions typical for quartz. even the natural cracks, not to mention if you have the ones with crystals within crystal, are pretty. if you could facet or cab them into pendants...just a suggestion.
I have been tumbling quartz but it keeps coming out flat, no shine. I tried polishing it for two weeks but still flat. What was the cloth material that you used? Any suggestions? Thanks
Wow, Buddy. I've never seen terry cloth or any cloth in that stage. That's brilliant. Can't wait to try it. Shine on....
They are beautiful. Hadn't thought to polish them. Wire wrap time 😀💕💗💖
some gemmy material there for sure. some of that would facet up super nice
Beautiful quartz before and after 👍😊
Nice close ups as usual..thanks again nate
I guess I’ll buy me a rock tumbling machine tomorrow. Those turned out great
I'm not sure if I like tumble over lapidary cabs.. I will be checking.
I enjoy the video Nate. I'm just pushing forward.
Very nice job Nate. They turned out looking wonderful.

I do this with all my broken quartz! Love how the clear stuff comes out, like ice!

Thanks Nate. You inspire me me to tumble the stones I've been collecting for the past 2 years. Can't wait to see the beauty inside these stones.
I think they are pretty tumbled, but I think I prefer them in the natural form broken tips and all 😆

You're so on the right track, gorgeous pieces from broken crystals... They are worth saving, brings out their true beauty.. 💖
they turned out great!
I'm leaving Thursday to go to Davis Creek. Let you know how the collection goes
The shots of your crafting look awesome ! Good luck!
@@QuestForDetails thanks. I have the california rockhounding book and it has a pretty good map in it to get black needles and mahogany needles.
Ok this might be weird but why do the polished stones sound different from the unpolished when they are hitting / clinking each other.
yes 100 % you can hear and feel the resonation is increased dramatically, the roundness sustaining the wavelengths .....
How long did ya have to tumble them?
about a week on each cycle, not long.

It was ripped up bits of a towel
