Question

I am looking for a stone polisher and i dont know what kind to look for.... a tumbler? a wet polisher? are they expensive? is this something I could find at a hobby shop? Please help me out!!!!

Answer 1

Lortone tumblers are supposed to be good.

However, you polish Petoskey stones by hand with sand paper and not in a rock tumbler.  Google: "How to polish Petoskey stones" and you'll get all the information you need.

If you don't want to take the time to hand-polish them, you can also spray the stones with clear spray paint.  That works best on the small ones.
