This sale is for 5 pounds of plastic pellets that are used in a rotary rock tumbler to provide a cushioning buffer for the pre-polish and polishing stages.

The purpose and benefit to using plastic pellets is to maintain volume. As progress is made in the removal of rough edges to the stones, the amount of free space in the barrel increases, which leads the stones to make repeated contact with other stones during the final stages, this can cause fractures and imperfections in the final result of the polished stones. The polishing stages are dependent upon contact with the barrel and the polishing slurry. Sale is for 5(five) pounds of 100% virgin, brand NEW plastic pellets, NO Tumbler, No Other Parts, Just What is In The Pictures. The quarter and Agate shown in the last two pictures are for size comparison only, they are NOT included in the sale. |
