Faster than a rotary tumbler, the TV-5 vibratory tumbler included in this kit gives you smooth, shiny gemstones in just a matter of days - not weeks.

Perfect for kids just dipping their toes into rock tumbling, this complete starter kit takes you from the unboxing to the reveal in about 14 days. While the Raytech TV-5 tumbler is hailed by hobbyists, its results are (ahem) polished enough for light commercial use.
