Stone Polisherswe stock a range of ever popular stone polishers or stone tumblers that are popular with both children and adults alike CLICK HERE TO GO DIRECT TO STONE POLISHER PAGES
The Polishing process is performed in three steps and takes 3-4 weeks in
total from start to finish and will polish 25 to 50 stones per barrel
depending on the barrel size instructions below.
P.S Polishing instructions that you asked about are-.
Stage one.
2/3 to 3/4 fill your barrel with stones of a similar hardness about 3/4 inch in size. Add water to the top of the stones then a tablespoon of course 80 grit. Close the lid securely and place the barrel on the tumbling machine. Start the machine & leave it to tumble for 5 - 8 days. After this time wash the stones & the inside of the barrel & lid very well to ensure that there are no traces of course grit left (very important if poor results are to be avoided), use a tooth brush or similar if this helps.
Stage two.
Return the stones to the barrel & add water to the top of the stones then a tablespoon of fine 400 grit. Close the lid securely and again leave to tumble for 12 - 14 days. Follow the steps in stage one for barrel cleaning.
Stage three.
Return the stones to the barrel & add water to the top of the stones then a tablespoon of polish (cerium oxide). Start the machine & leave it to tumble for 5 - 8 days to complete.
Further information below
The benefits of having more than one barrel is several stages can take place
at once meaning you can get results more frequently

 | Norfolk Amber
Amber is the fossilized sap of trees 40-50 million years ago; much glamorized by the film Jurassic Park. It originates in Scandinavia.
Most of the Amber we now find on this Coast has been brought here by the big push of glaciations in the last Ice Ages. It was brought from the North from what is now Poland, Lithuania and Denmark mixed in with sands and clays.
These deposits both in the cliffs and sea bed have led to Amber occurring on the Coast of Norfolk and Suffolk however in much smaller quantities in recent decades quite possibly due to better Coastal defenses which stop amber bearing sands and clays in the cliffs from being eroded.
Amber tends to be washed up in Norfolk in the winter storms and High Seas between October and March although it can be found at other times of year. The best place to look for Amber is along the High tide mark ideally at high side and if the weather behaves for you whilst walking into the sun; Amber doesn’t float in normal Sea Water but it is very light and therefore tends to get tangled in light sea weed on the High tide Mark. A low Sun also helps as sometimes it can give amber a slight luminescence.
Amber is often confused with other stones of a similar colour especially flint and carnelian, it can easily be identified however as it will scratch with a pen knife neither of the others will. Amber will not float in normal Sea water but it will in strong salt solution 10 spoonfuls of salt in a cup of hot water!!
Amber is very light when compared to another stone and has a duller tone when tapped against another stone.

 | Lemurian Seed Quartz
These Lemurian seed quartz are from the Diamontina / Minas Gerais area of Brazil and are unique to this single location, hey were discovered on a remote mountaintop location whilst mining for other quartz. these special quartz however caught the miners attention in that whilst they are clear they have a slight matt appearance to their surface however their main distinguishing feature are the horizontal etched markings that run up and in places step up at least one side of the crystal.
These Crystals were said to have been planted in there remote location by the advanced ancient civilization known as the "Lemarians" The striations on these Crystals when stroked with the index finger of the left hand are said to release knowledge held by the lemarians that they wished to be passed onto us.
In Conclusion Lemarian seed Quartz connects profoundly to the temple of the heart energy....awakening and activating the christ consciousness streams of energy available to us now in these important times of existence!! only one word can be used to describe their metaphysical energies.. 'PURE'..... and so so special.....a real resonance with a deeply loving energy that touches not just the heart but the soul too.
We have a large selection in stock in the shop warehouse and available online with prices from £15 upwards

MOLDAVITEShare
Monday, 02 February 2009 at 16:54 | Edit note | Delete
Moldavite is a fusion glass as a result of a huge meteorite impact by many it is marketed as extra terrestrial. The general consensus of opinion however is that it is part earth rock part extra terrestrial formed at the moment of impact under immense pressures and temperatures meteorite fuses with earth rock all our thrown high into the earth's atmosphere forming fantastic shapes. tecktites are fascinating Moldavite is awsome..This tektite from the banks of the river molda is the most prized tectite of all, its luminous green and sculptured texture is so rare and popular that it is thought that it will shortly become extinct.
Moldavite is a stone for major Transformation it is believed to help contact with other Spritial plains. Helps connect with accended masters. A good stone for the heart chakra. DO NOT CLEANSE WITH SALT
