Expert opinion

I recently had the pleasure of trying out the National Geographic Professional Rock Tumbler Kit and I was extremely pleased with my experience.

This rock tumbler kit is perfect for anyone looking to turn rough rocks into beautifully polished gemstones. It comes complete with everything you need to get started, including one pound of rough rocks with nine different types of gemstones, five jewelry fastenings, tumbler grit, a strainer, and our innovative new GemFoam polishing foam. The durable motor has time and speed control settings so you can set it and forget it the leak proof barrel features a stainless steel lid.

Using this kit is incredibly easy. All you have to do is fill up the barrel with the rocks or gemstones of your choice, add in some water and tumbling grit, then set the timer and let it run. After a few hours or days depending on what type of stones you are using your stones will start to become smooth and polished. The best part about this tumbler is that it comes with GemFoam rock polisher which gives your gems an incredible shine!

The National Geographic Professional Rock Tumbler Kit is ideal for both beginners and experienced hobbyists alike. Whether you are just starting out or have been working on gemstones for years, this kit has everything you need to get great results each time. The instructions are easy to follow and even those who have never tried rock tumbling before will be able to get great results in no time at all.

I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an easy way to turn rough stones into beautiful gems. It s perfect for kids who are interested in geology or lapidary arts, as well as adults who want something fun to do in their free time. With its durable design and simple operation, this rock tumbler kit is definitely worth checking out if you re looking for something to keep you entertained!
