Is there a substitute for the grits needed for tumbling rocks?

Silicon carbide is the standard grit for tumbling rocks. It's cheap, easy to find, and has no competition. You could substitute crushed garnet, or even beach sand, or try running without grit at all, especially if you're tumbling softer stuff, but I think you'll find it's a waste of time.
