Rock tumbling grit isn’t necessarily cheap. So you’re not alone if you’ve ever thought about less expensive alternatives. As a matter of fact, many folks wonder if even sand could be used as a cheaper option. Well, you’re about to find out.
Watch The Video!
I found a great video that tackles this very question with an in-depth experiment. In the video, Rob from Michigan Rocks sets out and tests three barrels of desert jasper: one with only water, one with sand, and one with silicon carbide grit, to see which method is the most effective at shaping and polishing rocks after just a week of tumbling.
The results are pretty surprising!
So, if you’re considering saving some money by using sand, you might just want to watch this video first.
