Collection: Tumbled Crystals

Tumbled crystals are natural stones that have been polished to create a smooth, shiny, and rounded surface. This process involves placing rough crystals in a rock tumbler with grit, water, and sometimes polishing agents, mimicking natural weathering but in a controlled environment. Here's a detailed description of tumbled crystals:

Appearance

  • Shape: Typically small and rounded, with an oval or pebble-like form. While they retain some natural contours, their sharp edges are smoothed away.
  • Texture: Silky and polished to the touch, often with a glossy or glassy sheen. This makes them easy and comfortable to handle.
  • Colour: Their colours are enhanced through the tumbling process, appearing more vibrant, deep, and uniform compared to their raw counterparts.

Features

  • Transparency: Some tumbled stones exhibit a translucent or transparent quality, allowing light to pass through them, which highlights their inner patterns and inclusions.
  • Size: Usually small enough to fit comfortably in the palm, making them portable and versatile.
  • Consistency: More uniform in shape and texture, though no two tumbled stones are exactly alike.
