I've tumbled shungite. It made the best blackest slurry, but does end up being pretty matte. Mine have a slight sheen, but they aren't shiny. they looked really cool. Some have a gold vein in them.
It's the protective clear coating you put on black shungite pieces afterwards (to contain the mess and keep them from wearing away over time) that gives them their shine, I believe. While higher grades are more metallic and have a natural shine. Kinda mercury-esque.
I LOVE rocks. Always have. I found you while looking for a way to polish some rocks my kids & I found 30 years ago. Now I walk around looking at rocks wondering how they would look after being tumbled. Buying a rock tumbler for myself for my birthday. Love your channel. 💕
Can you try tumbling broken ceramic pottery/plates? I always find a bunch whenever I go to the beach and was wondering how it would turn out in a tumbler. A fun experiment to try out!
I can actually answer this. My cats are on occasion horrible and break shit, this obviously includes ceramic things (Including a mug that I really really liked. Shitheads.) When they do this, I then break the item up to use as media. It actually comes out pretty cool, I'm planning to keep a couple pieces of mug from my current batch.
The "fancy jasper" seems like it be AKA a heliotrope or bloodstone! Also: I'd be interested to see a candle wax chunk tumble and maybe even wax honey comb (just take caution as I suspect a wax film may be nasty on the side of your equipment.
😂🤣😂🤣 I was practically in tears laughing THEN the bloopers totally did me in!! I LOVE you both and love your channel!! I never imagined rocks could be so entertaining! 😂🤣😂🤣
Even a local cat litter producer puts a small shungite stone in their bag 😂 People say it can purify water and make it drinkable for a few hours, I never risked to try though
Ok, I just looked up Shungite. That rock is absolutely amazing, especially for something looking this dull. Its 99% carbon and contains Fullerenes (also known as Buckyballs). Those are molecular Carbon spheres. I had no idea those occured naturally!

If you google shungite tumble they look really really shiny, I wonder how they get that kind of results...
@@neronoid I think if you use a vibratory tumbler they can get shiny, just not with a rotary.

That is a good idea!!! Good luck tumbling and happy birthday (when it shows up).

I hope you've been able to start a batch and it's going well! I am on my very first batch now and I'm really excited!

You and your husband are a joy🤗 Love that you guys can share a passion together.
I am loving the joyful chaotic energy
I LOVE getting your longform videos! Literally stumbled onto your channel around Christmas and been a fan ever since!
Shungite! I recognised it from the thumbnail, I live in Karelia where it comes from ❤ Shungite is so beautiful when polished, it's very popular here

You guys are so much fun. 😁 Love the outtakes! I hope you do more! Great video. 👍
It definitely is possible to tumble shungite. I have some tumbled shungite but it does end up being more matte

You gonna show us that rock under a UV light in another video? 👀 Cause a UV reactive rock sounds cool.
I forgot 😫 I want to do a video all about UV rocks soon, though, so I’ll make sure I include it in that one!
I love watching these unboxing videos, they're delightfully entertaining and I never get the rocks right when I guess XD
This probably wouldn’t turn out well, but have you tried tumbling pyrite before? Maybe it could be one of your fun experiments
I found your channel and You guys are so funny! I love listening to you two. Your husband is amazing! I am hooked.❤❤❤❤
I love the videos with your husband in them. He's always ao excited to quiz you about rocks!
It says right on the sticker, it is New Hampshire.

This was fun! I played along with you!
with a name like corundum sounds like it would be used to grind things
Larimar is so pretty when its tumbled
I knew that was shungite! 😁
Please do a video on rock tumbling for beginners 😭
Didn’t use the uv light on the tumbled rocks
It seems that you can tumble shungite
Did you forget about the potemralds 👉🥺👈
They can be tumbled. Shungite tumbles into smooth black rocks.
It's used in healing rituals.
Cheesy cheese

hi.
First comment, I like your videos!
Shungite. Excellent to block energy. Protection.
😂😂😂 Better than a tinfoil hat?
@@canadiangemstones7636 Debatable 😂😂
Girl dinner
I have those same shungites in the tumbler right now on stage two😳 did you ever get around to tumbling yours? Is it a video up?
