Quartz Christmas Rock Tumble! (Part 1)

Tumbling for Christmas presents! Mary and I decided to run a tumble so we could use some of our rocks as Christmas Presents this year! We've become pretty addicted to polishing rocks. :)
We found some more "Hematitic quartz" or "Fire Quartz" and we're finally tumbling some of the BLUE QUARTZ that we've found! This is Part 1 of our process, and we should have some really nice results just in time for Christmas!
THE CITRIC ACID WE USE: www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y25JM9S/...
DAVE'S REAL JOB! www.davidshockleyauthor.com
THE SOAP WE USE: Between each stage. This is HIGHLY CONCENTRATED and has ZERO fillers, so it works great for tumbling (and you barely use any due to the concentrated formula) 1/2 tspn. does the trick. - maryshockley.norwex.biz/en_US...

180/220 Medium Silicon Carbide Grit.
