TumbleStones (or "tumble stones") are
a form of crystals, minerals, and gemstones that is very popular with
collectors and mineral enthusiasts. These are formed from natural rocks
and minerals by a polishing process referred to as "Tumbling", hence
the name: "Tumble Stones".
During this process several stones tumble (fall) over each other while
being rotated in a drum-like device. Over time this smoothes the edges
of all the stones - which might have been rough initially. This process
can be compared with the way in which some river stones or stones in
gthe sea are smoothed by constant movement among sand and other
similar stones.
An interest in collecting gemstones
in general and/or tumble stones in particular can begin early in life,
with many interested and informed collectors still in Primary (Elementary)
School. Tumble Stones available
