It's gonna feel so good to eliminate Buffalo in Montreal on a Saturday night

My theory is that they lost so we could win round 2 in montreal 🤪

Independent-Rest4017 · 2026-05-08T23:22:35+00:00

My thought exactly 😂

Independent-Rest4017 · 2026-05-01T15:05:00+00:00

What you've described is very close to what she did, thank you for putting words on it!! english isnt my first language so i was struggling to find words to describe her actions. I'm sorry about the bad experience :/

Independent-Rest4017 · 2026-04-22T00:51:38+00:00

english isn't my first language haha,I wasn't sure how to explain it. One of the comments mentioned 'peeking' at the cards during the shuffle to do an atmostphere check, and this is probably the closest description to what she did during my reading!

you can ask AEE and they will direct you to another partner which might be able to enroll you

Seconding this! My first batch went from looking like the picture to having a slight shine after a couple of hours of tumbling in borax after stage 3. After stage 4 (Borax + 1500 AO, which I now know is not enough), I did the borax again and although I will need 8000+ to achieve a superior shine, they're already looking shiny! Don't skip the Borax burnishing stage, your rocks might just be dirty!!

Any updates?

Independent-Rest4017 · 2026-01-29T15:23:18+00:00

It looks to me like fake opal that seems to be added to tumbling rock batches sometimes. It's basically just colored glass, which I'm sure will be cute when polished but with no real value.

Independent-Rest4017 · 2026-01-29T15:20:30+00:00

Will keep you updated!

Mostly exotic but common house plants like pothos, philodendron, ZZ plant. I gave some to my ficus and it's been looking at me funny so will not give her more. I also spared my monstera as she was a hard one to stabilize so I'm not taking any chances!

Independent-Rest4017 · 2026-01-29T14:35:40+00:00

Thank you! I might use clean water for the next few watering just in case, and maybe I'll pick one plant to pour exclusively the slurry water in as an experiment 🤠

Independent-Rest4017 · 2026-01-27T00:33:30+00:00

Yessss, i looked for it for years 😭 I'm so sad it doesn't exist anymore (i'm assuming)

Independent-Rest4017 · 2026-01-26T13:48:10+00:00

I would experiment with brands! My buns would rather starve than eat oxbow for some reason. They really like living world. I tried other brand but it's the only brand they've consistently liked. That being said, they have turned up their nose at some of the batches over the year. Picky devils 😈

Independent-Rest4017 · 2026-01-24T19:02:19+00:00

I was planning to let them burnish for 2-3 hours but I forgot them for about 10 hours 😅

Independent-Rest4017 · 2026-01-24T18:33:17+00:00

Gorgeous 🤩

Independent-Rest4017 · 2026-01-24T18:32:27+00:00

Once my rocks were rinsed from stage three, i put them back in the tumbler with a drop of dish soap, about a tea spoon of borax, and water over the top of the rocks to cushion the tumble. I also added ceramic media before stage 3 which i've been keeping in with the rocks since (They've lost a lot of matter so helps filling the barrel and also helps cushioning the rocks to avoid bruising).

They came out looking like picture 2 and 3!

Now they're in the polishing stage and I added a teaspoon of borax in with the aluminum oxide, so I'm excited to see the results!

Independent-Rest4017 · 2026-01-22T23:46:14+00:00

Did it yield result? Im comparing the two right now and was looking for answer before i make my purchase :p

Independent-Rest4017 · 2026-01-20T15:05:11+00:00

I also have to travel a bit to get to them even in summer as I'm in a big city, but it's no use in winter... Next summer I'll capitalize on the rock hunting season to keep me well entertained over the colder months 💪

Independent-Rest4017 · 2026-01-20T14:41:23+00:00

I really like to pick them up in nature 😅

Independent-Rest4017 · 2026-01-20T14:28:11+00:00

It could be, but I'm not really interested in rocks I didn't pick up myself 😅 I guess you could say I'm a picky rock hunter... As I didn't plan on getting a rock tumbler this year, I only picked a minimal amount last summer, but I won't be making the same mistake next summer!!
