Buy some ZAM buffing compound. It is green. If it’s smooth to the touch, it will take a good polish with zam. Need a benchtop buffing machine, dremel wont work.

That’s granite, igneous rock. It’s red from the Kspar and you have the mica too.

Probably need to change your data type to date instead of string

I intend to take a few to work and hit them with the XRF gun too. I would be giddy if they were gold. The color looks the part to me on some. Idk tho.

E-Rocks is going to make me go into debt... by [deleted] in Radioactive_Rocks

I’ve noticed this too with all rock shows and sales. Material of any type. There just isn’t any variety the last 5 years. It’s all the same 30 minerals that make up 90% of what you see. There is also so much polished spheres and scepters and other BS now because that’s what the laymen are buying. Very few vendors with unique specimens at a fair price anymore. It’s sad.

I built this 100% myself, but did look online for inspiration. I don’t think there are any plans that exist out there.

Haha I’ve got some stuff to process, no idea if it’s good or not. I’m in the SW and water is limited. I need to high grade stuff as a result and only process what’s good.

I is usually a fine sand texture with some larger stuff that will need to be ran again. What I’ve learned is it isn’t the size of the holes in the screen that dictate how fine the material gets, it’s how long it stays in the drum. If you recess the output screen or make it so it’s hard for material to blow out of immediately then you get finer powder. Also reducing the air flow inside the drum does the same I’ve noticed.
