Review on Explore Nature's Gems: NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Rock Tumbler Refill Kit with Mookaite, Kabamba, and More - Includes 8 Jasper Varieties, 4 Grit Grades, Jewelry Fastenings, and Learning Guide by Bill Russett

I bought this kit for another brand of rockfall and am currently still in acrobatics. When I opened the box I was shocked by two things. First, I received better quality stones than I expected. Even in their raw state, I could tell they were all going to be beautiful. This set contains the most amazing bricks any crafter could wish for. Also, there were twice as many stones as could fit in my branded jar, so I accidentally got a two-for-one bonus. My expectations were exceeded. I assumed the set would include a few small nice looking bricks and the rest would be disappointing. Not so! Manufacturers include huge beautiful stones in this set. I used another set that contained really dull and not very nice stones, but the quality of this product amazed me. I was expecting half the stones, each half the size, and maybe all the stones would be pretty lame. Maybe a few would be nice. While I'm far from done with the acrobatics of this set, I can already say that all my stones are turning out beautiful. You must purchase this kit even if your glass is of a different brand. However, another thing I noticed is that the kit does not come with instructions, which can be problematic for someone like me who is buying this kit for someone else. brand glass. This isn't a problem though, as a quick Google search and my own assessment of the stones after each cycle is enough to get the desired results. At least that's the nature of the craft. More art than science, because no stone is like the other. I will definitely buy this again! (Note: the photos included in the review show half of the bricks in the set before the acrobatics and the other half of the bricks after the first grinding pass.)
