My rock collection has been growing for many years. I haven’t done much tumbling due to time constraints, but after finding and dusting off my tumbler I started to plan out which rocks to tumble. The first question I had was “Which ones can I group together?” Time to hit the books…

So what rocks can you tumble together? Rocks of a similar hardness can be tumbled together.

There are some nuances though, so keep reading to learn what those are.

How to Determine Which Rocks to Tumble Together

The first determining factor is hardness. Rocks, minerals, and gems use a hardness scale called the “Mohs Scale”, named after the person who invented it, Friedrich Mohs.

Testing the hardness is really easy. It involves scratching the rock with an object of a certain hardness. Here are the recommended items:

After you round up your items you can grab a rock and start scratching.

You will want to scratch your rock from lowest to highest. The first item that scratches it should give you the approximate Mohs hardness.

For example, you have a rock that did not scratch with a fingernail, penny, piece of obsidian, or building nail. But, your steel file did make a scratch. You now know your rock’s hardness is approximately 6.5 Mohs.

If you want to get super professional you can also buy a Mohs Hardness Test Kit. They can be found online with a simple search.

The next step is to sort out your rocks by hardness. I have created tables below for the hardness of common rocks that people like to tumble together. You can use these as a reference when sorting your materials.

(Please note that some rocks of the same hardness should be tumbled separately due to their fragile/brittle nature. These are noted in the tables.)

Kingdom for mac. I will be writing about tumblers, media (grit), time to tumble, and techniques in another article. For now, you will need to plan out what media to use and how long to run your tumbler based on what equipment you are using.

Commonly Tumbled Rocks and their Mohs Hardness

Group 1

Chrysocolla is the only “wildcard” in this list, as its hardness can vary greatly. You should test the hardness of any Chrysocolla you have before deciding what to tumble it with.

Group 2

Chrysoprace, due to its soft nature, should be tumbled alone or with another rock or mineral with a Mohs Hardness of 2.

Group 3

Clacites will generally have a Mohs Hardness of about 3. You can safely tumble calcites together.

Group 4

With the average hardness of these two rocks being 4.25, you should be safe to tumble them together.

Group 5

Indigo Gabbro can be tumbled along with the apatite family of rocks.

Group 6

The obsidian family is a brittle/fragile rock and should not be tumbled with other species to avoid chips and bruises.

Group 7

The tiger’s eye family is also a fragile species and for best results should be tumbled together.

Group 8

The average hardness for this group is 6.06, thus could be tumbled together with no problem.

Group 9

Species of this group, mainly jasper and quartz, can be tumbled together. If tumbling quartz, be sure it is about 1.5 inches or smaller. Larger quartz requires a ceramic tumbling media to avoid chipping or bruising.

Group 10

Banded Amethyst should be tumbled separately due to its fragility. Although it has a high hardness, it tends to be brittle.
