[QUOTE="LONEWOLF, post: 421881, member: 6309"] Yes you can... But start with 180/220 grit and check every few hours, as being a 'Soft' stone if you use 80 grit, you will find nothing is left after a few hours.... ;) You can use Peanut shells, plastic tumbling beads or pieces of soft leather, as a filler to increase the amount... I wouldn't use 'Other' rocks in with it as these will smash the soft Labradorite while tumbling... Best thing about using peanut shells is you need beer to go with the Peanuts... :P With the Sunstone... O:) Oh I wish I could tell you more about what is happening but My lips have been sealed by NT Mines as there is legal action taken by the Government over the mining of the Sunstone... Everything you see For Sale on the net has been Illegally Mined and 'He' is in deep ****.... Couldn't happen to a nicer fellow... And I use that term very Loosely.... :lol: LW.... [/QUOTE]
