Polly Plastics Rock Tumbler Media Grit Refill, Pre-Polish 500 Silicon Carbide Grit, Stage 3 for Tumbling Stones (2 Pack) (1 lb.)

This grit worked great for my first ever Columbia river rock polishing experiment. I didn't have enough stage 1 grit from the "starter" pack I originally purchased. I added another 3 TBSP to my tumbler and the rocks look great at stage 1

I get an excellent polish with this 1200 grit. Rocks come out way shinier than when using other polish brands. For instance the Rockshed 1000 grit results in dull rocks in comparison. The Rockshed grit color is gray and under a high powered microscope you can see contamination, black particles, which make the overall color of the grit gray. Aluminum oxide, with high purity, should be white.

I have been rock tumbling for over two years now and I have purchased this brand multiple times and will continue to be a return customer. The grits work exactly as expected for each stage of tumbling. Important notes: - Get the one that has the ceramic filler - not the plastics. The ceramic will last way longer and be better on your rocks. - Also - watch some YouTube videos on how to tumble rocks and switch between stages. There's some important tips to make sure you get the best results. Michigan Rocks YouTube channel has some great instructions on it. For the price and quality, couldn't be happier.

This stuff is a miracle! I tried with 2 other brands. See the top rock and did not get nothing after 2 weeks. The bottom rock was with polly plastics after only 2 days recommend by Agate Ariel from YouTube on how to get a great polish.The only reason I knocked it down a star is because it's expensive compared to others. Definitely will buy again.

So I am new to rock tumbling, I just got my first hobby kit ever for my birthday in June (National Geographic Rock tumbler for those interested) the kit only came with so much grit and being as Ive collected a lot of rocks in the last however many years, I ran out fast. So I went to Polly Plastics to find some well priced and well working grit. Well it came SUPER fast. When I ordered on Friday it was estimated that I would receive my product by the following Wednesday, but I received it on Sunday. It was expertly packaged, you could tell that care went into me receiving my grit. Not only were the two one pound bags of grit in some heavy duty zipper sealed bags, but they were inside another zipper sealed bag, then wrapped in plastic. If these bags had leaked at all it wouldn’t have gone anywhere! Luckily they didn’t leak and I was able to get all my grit into the jar I use to keep it in. I’ll update in a few days to let you know the quality of the grind as my rocks are now currently in and being tumbled. Update: I took my rocks out of my tumbler today. For all those who would like to know my tumbler is a little 3 pound tumbler. Everything I have read says that you need to add two tablespoons of grit. When I pulled my rocks out today there was SO much extra grit that it had created a nearly cement layer at the bottom of my tumbler that took several washes in order to clear out the grit and get all my rocks out. Most of them were smooth enough to move on to the next phase. The grit is very shiny, almost metallic. I’ll update in a few more days, I put only one tablespoon in for this round. Update: Just pulled the batch out that had only one tablespoon of grit in it and it worked beautifully, it seems that for my 3 lb. hobby tumbler one tablespoon of this grit is plenty. I have attached a picture of my rocks that are ready to go on to phase 2.

Shines up rocks with ease. If your a rock collecting nut that loves to polish rocks like me, this is some of the best prices and available stage 4 polishing compound on Amazon. Batch after batch, I’ve gotten consistent results from Poly Plastics grits.

Excellent Product!

Works really good. Way better then national geographic medium.
