What Are Tumbled Stones?

Tumbled stones are brightly polished, small and rounded pieces of minerals.  Tumble stones are the easiest way to get a taste of different kinds of crystals and minerals.

They are also known as “polished stones” and “baroque gems”. Tumbled crystals are used as décor and crafting different objects such as jewelry. They are also great souvenirs, collectables and stones with plenty of healing properties. 

They are small in size and easy to work with, plus they are very affordable crystal option! Crystal tumbles can be used in crystal gridding in a specific crystal healing manner, they can be kept in pockets or purses so you can keep their energy with you, you can put in small cages and make into keychains or necklaces, and many people like tumblestones for travel sets.

They can also be used while meditating because of the calming effect of the smooth surface. It’s good to carry them in pockets and purses as they increase clarity, prosperity, happiness and feminine energy. Tumbled crystals help with chakra balancing as well. Depending on the chakra, you can use a specific crystal. Often times the color of the crystal corresponds with the chakra.

If you aren't into the healing properties or meanings, tumble crystals also just look beautiful in a crystal bowl, or scattered around the home or in plant pots! Crystals of all shapes and sizes make great additions to home decor.

Tumbled crystals are created by doing, as the name suggests, tumbling stones in a tumbler hehe. They start out as raw crystals and chunks and are put into this machine which slowly grinds down the rough edges and eventually ends with a polishing stage.  The last step is the polishing using aluminum oxide to produce a bright and shiny surface. The best materials for making tumbled crystals are colorful minerals with a Mohs hardness between 5 and 8 because they are durable and accept a good polish.
