How NOT to ship rocks home...

We attempted to mail a bunch of rocks home to ourselves and can freely admit we definitely did it wrong. We were in a hurry so we basically just loaded the boxes and sent them. In hindsight, we definitely should have double-bagged them with some yard trash bags. So far we have gotten 2 of 3 boxes with one lost in the mail somewhere. I'm guessing the third box exploded completely. As always, lea...

Replacing 2006 E-150 Econoline headlights
Quite impressive actually. Thank you
Those 2 rocks you were guessing were mahogany obsidian definitely are NOT mahogany obsidian. I don't know what they are. Obsidian is volcanic glass & it is soft. If it had been obsidian, it would've had all kinds of chips in it from tumbling it with much harder stones or would've been shattered to pieces. It also would have been much shinier, like glass. Also, mahogany obsidian is a reddish-brown to rusty orange-brown (ie. mahogany color) with black specks and splotches all over it. Your stones look blackish-grey with yellowy-orange veins. Not at all what mahogany obsidian looks like.
@@robloxislandsbyfeathersong thanks for the info, still trying to identify a lot of these rocks but have gotten a lot of good help from people for several of them. Thanks for watching🙂
Beautiful 😍❤️ lots
@@leoniefrancis5937 thank you! 😁
Goodness, that intro is perfect. It speaks to my millennial soul.
@@Mefistophelez haha, glad you liked it. It was just going to be for one video but it turned out way too corny to waste it. 👍
You've answered an important question I had. Thank you!
Glad I could help and thanks for watching! 👍👍
Lmao. Been there, done that, have the t shirt. Poor babies. So sorry you had to do that. But as long as you’re safe it was worth it!
Haha yeah it was all part of the adventure and funny to laugh about now. We really did give a solid effort of breaking in before we resorted to primitive tools but I'm the end, sometimes the oldest told are still the best. 👍
Great video and what a fun experiment! I've learned, begrudgingly, that space in the barrel is important. I'd say that was probably the biggest contributor to the difference in polish between the two barrels. Another might be the hardness of the stones. Since pea gravel is going to be all over the place for hardness, it might have provided a softer surface and not smoothed out your target stones as much. Something ceramic media would correct. However, if you were to select all the quartz out of that gravel you'd have better than ceramic for tumbling media. Great job! Now you have me wanting to try some pea gravel.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it and hopefully you have some interesting results of your own, is like to hear about what happens if you try it. I really enjoy just throwing things in and testing to see what happens. I love tumbling rocks because you can't really mess things up, you just tumble them longer with different grit, or media, or with different rocks until you get a shiny rock. Really fun hobby👍
these look like Iowa rocks (to me)... stuff found in limestone and sandstone, presumably? Lots of chert, quartz crystals, chalcedony (sorta) - all of which are varieties of colored quartz, which is why they polished so amazingly. I'd guess the rough ones in the middle of the video might be quartzite. I have some dark ones like that that came from coastal California but I have no idea what they are.
I've wondered where they picked them up. I noticed that the bag of Vigoro pea gravel I bought had all similar types of rock so I'm thinking they must get it from the same location. When we were in Utah the gravel beds had very different rocks in them. I'm starting to lock down which ones polish up the best and have become a bit more selective when collecting. Thanks for the feedback!
I would run it without pea gravel and less grit once then with the pea gravel the second time. That would probably let the big chunks break down in first run and round it more second.
Might be the trick. I'll have to give it a try! :)
actually go back to stage three and sonic clean after it then run stage four and sonic clean after it as well. that should at least really reduce the cracks but if you don't want to do that just coat them in mineral oil and wipe them off.
Good advice, thanks! I am going to do an experiment with some fillers before tumbling a couple to see if I can avoid the cracks showing in the first place - no idea what will happen but interested to see if I can figure something out
I have a similar machine that i bought years ago. Excellent for cleaning extremely dirty carburetor parts and or jewelry. To keep my machine clean, the machine itself is filled with hot tap water then the heater is turned on. All parts that i am cleaning go into a zip lock freezer bag which then has dawn soap and hot water added into the freezer bag with whatever your cleaning and sealed. This is then put into thewater thats in the machine. This way the inside of your machine stays clean like new. Whether your cleaning really dirty greasy engine parts or fine jewelry. The plastic freezer bag does not impede or inhibit the ultrasound cleaning process. Just keeps the mess from the inside of your machine. Pro tip
Wow that's really great advice, thanks! I'll definitely try it out. 😃👍👍
Unfortunately my head won't fit in that machine so my mind will remain dirty 😂 I found a rock at the beach recently in a pile of boulders that are at the end where it turns into private property. The rest are just ordinary granite. This particular one is dark black with some thin white lines running through. It's a totally different texture from the granite, much smoother. I'm thinking it might be flint or something like that because it looks like it would make good stone tools. The rock isn't too big, I could bring it home but it would be hard to get it from the pile to my car. I bet it would be beautiful polished. It's not glassy looking like obsidian but it's black like that. I don't know much about rocks but that one got my attention. I grew up in Florida and this rock is next to the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, and it's not like any rock I've ever seen. I spent 9 years in Central America and a few in NC too, and it's not like anything I recognize. It's odd because it sticks out from the rest of the rocks that are regular grey granite. I'd love to know what kind of stone it is. Edit, according to Google it actually could be a type of obsidian, or a couple other possibilities
@@comfortablynumb9342 haha that's ok, dirty minds are much more entertaining. 👍 Always fun to find a rock that makes you wonder. I'd love to see a picture of it if you get a chance sometime. Thanks for watching, hope you have a great day!
@@LearninRocks I'll have to go back to the beach and take pictures. But how will I show you?
@@comfortablynumb9342 you could email me at info@stonevirtue.com 🙂👍
Part 2 of vid, rerun stage 4 and see if cracks refill.
I'm thinking of trying to seal the cracks then repolishing just for fun. Going to do an experiment with some different fillers to see what happens👍 thanks for the feedback, that's what I'll fall back on if the filler is a waste of time. 🙂
Have you tried just using a finer grit? Most people use something around a 60/90 SC for step one. My guess is that since your grit is so large, not only is it sinking, but your rocks are unable to break down such large size pieces of grit in the amount of time you're tumbling them for.
@@jennabennett4236 that was another thought I had. I actually just got some 60/90 and added some of the 36 (want to use it up) to the batch after this was filmed. They're tumbling now so we'll see what happens👍 thanks for the feedback!
@@LearninRocks That's exactly what I do when I have really hard stones like agates and jaspers. I add one scoop of 30 or 36 grit to two scoops of 60/90. It chews them up quite a bit faster.
@@kengensjewelry I just purchased an extreme tumblers rebel 17 that I'm in the middle of filming my first batch in. I ended up using that mix and we're half way through a two week tumble so we'll see what we get! Hopefully I'll be able to get the video up soon after it finishes
😘❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
You can use a dremel to smooth out cracks and holes. they don't cost that much.
I have used a Dremel for smaller jobs occasionally but definitely need better bits. I'm saving up my couch cushion money for something to speed up the process and cut up some larger rocks. Hopefully I'll be doing some videos with new equipment soon! Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it👍
I'm wondering if you still were on to something. I would try it again and use maybe half as much pea gravel. I think maybe there was so much pea gravel that the rocks did not get enough movement. Just a thought.
@@andriesjohannas3579 there's an idea. I'm thinking that with the added surface area of the gravel I was wasting the grit smoothing out rocks I didn't want to smooth out. I haven't used ceramics in the roughing stage before but maybe that would be better than gravel since it's so hard.... Maybe next experiment👍
@@LearninRocks I am fairly new and no expert and appreciate listening to others like yourself. I tried aquarium gravel and tossed that after one try. I occasionally use ceramic tiles that I break up. They are cheap if purchased and I have actually received a lot of free tiles from tile retailers after explaining what I need it for. They have broken and orphan tiles often they would otherwise toss. Thanks again
@@andriesjohannas3579 that's a great idea! I hadn't considered trying to use broken ceramic tiles👍 I may have to try it!
I transferred some hotel landscaping rocks from Miami FL to AR.
Haha, usually the direction of travel goes the other direction for rocks since Florida is 99% sand. :)
my first ever tumble i accidentally did it without the grit bc i just completely forgot and it took years off my life when i realized 😭 had to do that stage again. super interesting to see someone do it purposely for experiment purposes tho!
Haha yeah I'd be ticked if I'd forgotten to add grit on accident. I just like to test different things to see what happens. Sometimes it's good, sometimes like this video, not so impressive but at least I know😁👍 I've got a couple other side by side tests coming out soon, I hope you'll check them out. Thanks for watching!
nice one dude. A lot of quarts and a bit of jasper possibly some calcedeny or agate. I would say the black are not obsidian because broken obsidian is shiny because it is volcanic glass. Probably black jasper.
Thanks! I've got a few more videos in the works like these and some Utah agate we shipped back home. So far they're all looking pretty promising! Hope you'll check them out when the batches finish👍👍
Just the radiation
There is plastic tumbling media of different shapes and densities that should be used when tumbling rocks. The media will cushion rocks and helps prevent rocks striking others and cracking them or leaving hard strike chipping happening inside the drum.
@@electrichellion5946 I haven't tried the plastic yet, heard mixed reviews about it and looks like it's a pain to separate from the stones so I've been using ceramic. Is plastic the way to go?
Sounds like the guard is vibrating on something, but it's very difficult to say from the video alone. Cool device though
Yeah I haven't been able to pin it down but it has stopped for now. . . waiting to see if it returns
I love them does look like some petrified wood
@@jamielynnpresgraves5240 very possible, we found about 20 lbs of petrified wood in Utah recently so we're planning on doing a batch soon. Hope it turns out! 👍
How long Do you need for 3 tons of this stones? I need them for my driveway. The old gravel got dirty.
@@whitegoo4U haha by the time I finish that much we'll all be fossils! 🤣
The first rock looks like Gneiss. I just sub"d. You had 101 subs before i subd. The channel name appeared as Learning Rocks 101. Lol. Great channel you two! Looking forward to more.
I think you hit the nail on the head with gneiss. Just looked it up and it's spot on! Thanks for the feedback and the compliment it's been a lot of fun learning how to do rocks, how to make videos, and how UA-cam works all at the same time! Not to sound like a complete dummy, but what is Subd? Thanks again! 😁👍
@@LearninRocks sub'd is short for subscribed. I'm new to rocks myself. I have looked for arrowheads for about a decade now. I've found many different Stone types they used and started to learn how to identify the rock itself. There are many different names and different formations where chert and flint comes from. That's a lot to learn right there. They used Basalt, quartz and many other types. It became very interesting to me. I've been in Michigan for the last two months rockhounding. It's the first time looking for rocks for me, that weren't altered by man. I found some pudding stones and petosky stones. Those are pretty neat, but then I discovered the Agates, and man am I hooked. Agates are by far my favorite to find. Have you figured out what your favorite stone is yet?
@@bottling.hobo. that's awesome! It's definitely a lot to learn. I find I have a new favorite every day but I'm pretty partial to Jasper and agate... Pretty much anything in the chalcedony group. Love the patterns and the way it shines but I find another mystery rock that blows me away every time I open the tumbler to check on the progress👍👍
Look up how to test hardness with normal things around the house. Mohrs Hardness is what you want to google. Tumble rocks with the same hardness together. If you don't have enough to fill the tumbler, you can add ceramic media. The sample rock you had already had several cracks in it. And by pounding it with the tools you had, it probably put more micro cracks that will show up later and fill with grit/polish. I'd recommend a good wet tile saw. I've gone a long time with my little 4" one from Harbor Freight. You'll need a diamond blade to go with it. With a 4" saw, will only be able to cut 2", but you can turn carefully larger rocks as you cut to get all the way around. Then with a chisel and an EASY tap you'll be able to break them without more undesirable cracks/micro cracks. A diamond blade can't cut flesh, so it's really safe to use. I touch mine all the time while it's running just for the heck of it. I just recently upgraded to a 7" wet saw and got a lapidary blade for both, and discovered that I prefer a diamond blade over a more expensive lapidary blade. If you'd like ideas of how to do flat-laps using Harbor Freight tools, just let me know. Enjoy the journey! www.nps.gov/articles/mohs-hardness-scale.htm
Thanks again for the great info! We are still in the beginning stages and learning. I plan to start getting more equipment but I'm definitely going to take the "buy once cry once" approach and save up for some nice equipment as we build our arsenal. I started with the harbor freight tumbler and it is a decent setup but I have my sights set on an extreme tumbler rebel 17 because I find that when I am done sorting through my rocks after stage one, I rarely have enough to fill one barrel of my lot-o double-barrel tumbler and never get enough to fill both barrels so it's taking a long time to get to the last 3 stages. Maybe some of these videos will help me score a sponsor someday to help get some new equipment! Hehehe Thanks again for the feedback!
I'd recommend testing them for hardness. Those are all very common rocks, and beautiful. I call them Walmart rocks, because they are all in the local Walmart parking lot and around other businesses. Testing for hardness goes a long way, and a good book. I would like to say that the pretty black rock is not obsidian. A lot depends on what part of the country you are in, and you are not near natural obsidian. However, it is known as a wish stone because it is a dark rock with a single ring going all the way around. You should also look for hag stones, they make fabulous necklaces. Enjoy the journey!
Thanks for the great info! Yeah being in Florida we have to take what we can get - which limits us to parking lot rocks for the most part. I did get a great piece of afar jasper that we are going to break up soon - and we went rockhounding in Utah and came back with all kinds of interesting stuff to try out. Thanks again for the feedback!
@LearninRocks I'm in the same situation up here in north MS. Nothing but sandstone, chalk, limestone, and fossils. But at one of our local gravel companies they sell landscape rock for parking lots and homes called Arkansas Jellybean. It mostly quartzite with a little jasper. I get it for $6 for a 5 gallon barrel. Love it! Lots of different colors, and it tumbles great! A friend of mine does that in northern KY, too. All she has local is limestone.
I don't know, never seen that machine before.
I'm in Utah, a good portion of them look like they could be petrified wood. I know in some parts their are pigeons blood agate's, where their's just specs of red in otherwise colorless rocks.
Awesome, we actually just got back from Utah and shipped about 80 lbs of different rocks back to polish. Found a bunch of petrified wood there that were excited to try polishing. Thanks for the feedback!
My friend some of the rocks appear to be opals or opal and potchi I would acid treat some of them I would watch a matrix opal treatment video from andamooka Australia
That would be interesting! Which rocks were you thinking were the opals? Thanks for the comment😁👍
Good job , dosent look like obsidian to me , looks like banded chert maybe , thanks for sharing
It very well could be! I love that these videos give me a way to hear from people who know what they're talking about! Thanks for the feedback I'll have to check out chert and learn a bit more about it 😁👍
You super glue in the cracks and repolish that’s what we used to do in the countertop business sometimes it chips out and then you have to reapply the glue. But it polishes up really nice.
Oh wow there's an idea! Definitely worth a try. Maybe we'll give it a shot on the batch I'm tumbling now. Keep an eye out for another video and I'll post the results. Thanks! 👍👍
Good night how you polish
Good night,how you an what useto,clean stone
Thanks! I'm finishing a video soon that shows each step but there are videos of each stage on my page.
Nice 👍
I have to admit some rock envy we done have those in Alabama. Great polishing job.
We don't have them in Florida either... But we have become great at finding businesses who use them for landscaping. You'd be amazed at some of the rocks they use! 😁
6:02 brown rock is an agate I believe. It might be interesting to cut it in half.
Cut it lengthwise. Great polishing.
Great feedback! I think a trim saw is next on the list for lapidary equipment! We have a lot of rocks if love to cut and polish!
what makes you think this is agate? I don't see any concentric bands or anything
I believe the blackish one at 5:35 is Lepidolite.
Thanks for all the responses! I had to go back and rewatch the video to see which ones you're talking about. I appreciate the help identifying them 😁👍
The yellowish rock at 4:49 is agate a variety of chalcedony. Aka Orca agate.
The purple one is opalized fluorite
Hhhhh me and my mate started collecting too and found so many of the same as you. We are in UAE, the MIddle East. We got so excited and went hunting for more around the entire town. Please, when you find out....what they are, post it up 😊
We were pretty excited to see how these turned out. We have another batch in there now that we were a little more selective with. I'm hoping we get some good ones! We just got back from Rockhounding in Utah and got some amazing rocks that we'll be putting in next so keep an eye out for that video! Thanks for watching! 😁
I’m in Indiana, our landscape rock looks nothing like yours, but I have had some very pleasant surprises though, cushioning is key for cracking and bruising, good job for your first batch
@@tone-starfire it's interesting how different areas have different landscaping rocks. Not sure where they get their rocks in Florida but we're in Utah now and the rocks here are super different too. Still fun to see what you get, we have about 100+ pounds of rocks to ship back home. 🤪

You in south Fla, we have same landscaping… the rock that didn’t shine so well, all bumpy black/ brown underneath I cut one open, it looks so cool, I put a pic on Reddit if your interested I’ll give info
We're in the Tampa Bay area. We've had plenty that we tossed aside that didn't polish up as we went through the stages but we're getting a little better at figuring out which ones work and what doesn't. I'm sure it will be a lot of trial and error. I'd like to see what you were working with though if you want to send the link👍
The best part is that it’s a rental
Yeah that glass was pretty stubborn. We got the glass replaced on my own dime because of course I skipped the insurance but we're back on the road. Tough lesson learned👍
@@LearninRocks insurance can be a bastrd. Cure in Sardinia and the car insurance was insane, even needed insurance for the insurance and any damage whatsoever had a minimum fine of £900
The crack being wiped away was hilarious!
I knew this was coming from the second I opened the video
I wish I was able to remain so calm and even comedic in a situation like this. If this happened to me, I was taught freaking out and getting pissed off was the only solution
Haha yeah it was pretty bad. Times like that all you can do is laugh and figure out how to make the best of it I guess. 🤪
That's why I keep a spare key in my wallet
That's a good idea. Unfortunately it was a rental and these key fobs are MASSIVE!
