Hi My name is Kathryn. I go by Kat. I create jewelry from stones. Many stones I have found, by trudging thru sand in all kinds of weather. Why? Because ROCKS HAVE ENERGY and i suffer from fatigue and chronic pain. Rocks have saved me!
Wow Kat those are beautiful. Some are over the hill amazing looking😊

The friends that get these trudge thru the woods quite a ways and into a ravine. They haul these out of there. Lots of work!

Kat they look very nice now :) Beware of new ceramic media. I made this mistake -> I did not first tumble the media to soften the edges. They only hurt my tumbling experience because I did NOT tumble the media first by their self. Lesson learned for me !

Oh noooooo. Yes we think the ceramic dented and scratched. Can’t decide whether to take them back to stage two on the rough grit, or to go back to 500 aluminum oxide with the walnut and no media and then the thousand.

Hello Kat. I can say I never seen anyone get a good shine on petoskey stones unless they use a "Dry Corn Cob Method" or run them on a $5000 lapidary machine. I find fossils all the time in Lake Michigan and some just never shine. They are to soft and porous. I am sure you tumbled hard rocks such as quartz and agates "they shine very well in a tumbler" Knowing they don't shine well, I think Yours look amazing 🤩

Hola me gustan mucho tus piedras están hermosas. Me gusta coleccionar piedras pero aquí donde yo vivo no hay piedras preciosas como las tuyas, las que yo colecciono son piedras comunes y corrientes de las que hay aquí y para mí también son piedras preciosas.
