Accidentally missed stage two from 1/2 of these Lake Superior rocks. Figured they wouldn’t polish up (or 1/2 of them wouldn’t), but they turned out okay. Makes me wonder why we do stage two. They were quite tumbled by Lake Superior though so maybe that helped with the tumble.1yr ⋅ Yeahicare_Ido ⋅ r/RockTumbling
