Sooner or later, it will break the marbles.  Rock tumblers have been tried by thousands the last 30+ years. The end results were always broken marbles. No matter what material was used. Either it never changed the marbles much or it broke them.  I post this every six months or more often on a couple chat boards . But people are still trying to use a rock tumbler to polish glass marbles.  It either is a waste of electric and time or you have broken marbles. 

[Joe2]

I did consider it, broken marbles especially with the finer ones. I have not researched any tutorials on the pros & cons of this method of polishing

 

[Fire1981]

I’ll try it. If a few break it’ll only be the one’s Ron says aren’t worth a dime 🔥

Yes, I bought the tumbler about 5yrs. Ago for my Grandsons rock collection and soon after he lost all intest in it so its been settling in storage.

Put in for a second time together both batches 9:00pm (sX) start X, I don't expect to have too much change.

That 1 still spinning, will chk. tomorrow abt.12pm or so.

[Joe2]

 so, I would have to say there was little to no change in the clarification process for a second and third run a 24-hour run would be sufficient for any surface scratches. I will now proceed to the next process to follow up with.

[Joe2]

well just restarted  Centrification Process @ 5:30pm Rx/ 3day, 2 scoops aluminum oxide, air rifle pellets as a buffer, filtered H20. Approximately 10 Marbles
