@generikat got a couple nice large gems this year. Mine are mostly small fragments. I plan to run some through a tumbler with some sand to see what happens. It should clean the mica and dirt out of the crevasses in the raw gemstones.

Good fun! Garnet is hard enough to do well in a tumbler. I keep thinking I might like to facet some of these. I have a couple of pounds of sunstones to practice on, but I need to make a mechanism to index the rough properly.
