You can use a top coat of nail polish to make it shiny!
A rock tumbler is a device to brake down large boulders into smaller gravel. It is a drum that rotates and often has divets or bumps to smash the larger rocks.
Rock Tumbling is fun!! You put your rocks into a roller and spin it, it cleans your rocks!
Without any knowledge of the entire process or the type of rock you are using, and assuming standard practice, try putting pieces of leather [about one inch square,roughly] in the polish cycle. After the polish cycle, run the rocks in cheap dry laundry soap and water mix, about the thickness of pancake batter. Again put leather pieces in with it, fresh leather, not reused from the polish cycle. Run this cycle the same length as the polish cycle. Use any scrap leather available in a volume of about 1/3 that of the rock. We use this procedure with every batch and get good results.
A rock tumbler is used to smooth and refine a stone found in nature. This is done to polish the stone to give an attractive appearance. They can be bought in many hobby stores around the world.
Yes, that's why it's called a ROCK tumbler! Even ordinary stones out of your yard can turn out to be stunningly beautiful. Of course agate and rocks of that sort are prettiest but you never know what you'll end up with. Breaking rocks apart will give you an idea of the colors inside.
It depends what type of rock you want to polish.
People purchase rock tumblers to polish rocks. These machines range drastically in price and spin the rocks against each other in a machine to make them shine.

Rocks are aggregates of minerals,thus there is no rock without minerals. Q.E.D
The tumbler doesn't go anywhere. How far the tumbler's barrel will spin depends upon how fast it's rotating and how big it is.
Rocks do not have middle names as they are inanimate objects without personal identities.
