LORTONE TUMBLERS

A favorite way to begin the lapidary hobby (the cutting and polishing of rocks and gemstones) is by TUMBLING a batch of rough rocks into smooth, polished stones. We carry LORTONE tumblers and equipment, a large assortment of crushed rocks to tumble, as well as the abrasive grits and polish necessary to complete your project.
