How do you know what a rock will look like after you polish it?
When tumble polishing rocks you really can't know what it will look like when done. You can look at similar rocks that you have polished or that were polished by others. This will give you some idea of what colors or surface shine you might get. Each rock us unique. Polishing only exposes its inner beauty.
I want to share some photos of rocks I have polished. The sets include "before" I started to polish them and "after". Sometimes the before shots are pretty ugly but then the magic of tumbling takes over and the inner beauty is revealed. Who says beauty is only skin deep?
