Rock Tumbler Kits & Rock Polishing Kits

Polish Rocks at Home with Rock Tumblers, Kits, & Lapidary Supplies.

Have you ever wondered why the rocks at the beach or along a riverbed are smooth and shiny, while roadside rocks are rough and dull? Here’s the secret: nature acts as a rock tumbler, using water, sand, and time to polish stones through erosion.

Erosion is a natural process where materials gradually wear down over time. You can recreate this fascinating process at home with a rock tumbler and a bit of grit! Our kits make it easy to transform ordinary rocks into gleaming, gem-like treasures—perfect for collections, crafts, or homemade jewelry.

These reliable rotary tumblers gently transform rough rocks into smooth, polished gemstones through a 4- to 6-week process. With two durable rubber barrels, the tumbler uses grit and motion to slowly wear down and shine the stones, revealing stunning natural patterns hidden inside.
