This rock tumbler set has all the features and accessories you need to master rock drums, start an exceptional rock collection, and create beautiful jewelry. This high quality drum machine features a powerful motor that will last for years, a power-saving automatic shut-off timer and a noise-reducing, leak-proof run.

You can create your own unique wearables with your tumbled stones. It also contains GemFoam, the most innovative way to give your polished stones a dazzling shine. With this high quality tumbler, you can set your drum time. When the time is up, your tumbler will automatically shut off, allowing you to choose the perfect amount of drying time for each grit level.

The included rough stones (2 pounds) contain nine different gemstones from around the world, and our drum grain is labeled through tumbling phase to make the process even easier! Pick your favorite gemstones and turn them into jewelry with the included necklace, keychain, ring and two clip-on earring backs inside. And don't forget GemFoam, our exclusive new way to give your polished stones a dazzling shine. Use GemFoam just like drum grains, simply add it to the barrel with your stones and water and then marvel at the shine three days later. GemFoam is also reusable, allowing you to create a truly impressive gemstone collection. We make the highest quality scientific toy, and all products are backed by exceptional service.

(in usa on 110v). thank you.** A: This takes .3 Amps, so (watts = amps x volts) OR watts = .3 x 110 which equals33 watts. Now for one week would equal 33 watts x 7 days x 24 hours =5544 watts or 5.54 kilowatts for one week.At $.16 per kilowatt it comes to $.89 per week. **Q: What the difference between this and the starter kit?** A: There are two main differences:The Hobby Rock Tumbler has a rubber tumbling barrel with a stainless steel cap, which reduces noise and is more durable. The Starter Kit Rock Tumbler has a plastic barrel. The Hobby Rock Tumbler also has a keypad for setting the number of days you would like it to tumble, where as the Starter Kit Rock Tumbler's setting options are on/off. Thank you for your inquiry. **Q: What pound tumbler is this product?** A: Dearest National Geographic.... why would you only send 1# of rocks with a two pound tumbler? **Q: Can i buy extra grit without the rocks. we have many rocks from "mining" gemstones that i would love to polish. what do you recommend?** A: I recommend you follow the rock tumbler hobbiest MIchigan Rocks on Youtube. He's a good wealth of information for anyone getting into rock tumblers. He and other's mention that the polish from National Geographic is not good. I would go with rock tumbler polish offered by Polly Plastics. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***. on 12 January 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***L on 28 March 2023* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***N on 15 April 2026* ## Frequently Bought Together - NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Hobby Rock Tumbler Kit – Durable Leak-Proof Rock Polisher with 7-Day Timer – Complete Rock Tumbling Kit – Geology Hobby for Kids, Educational STEM Science Kit, Rock Collection - Blue Marble National Geographic Rock Tumbler Grit and Polish Refill Kit - Tumbling Grit Media, Polish Up to 20 lbs. of Rocks, Works with Any Rock Polisher, Rock Tumbler Supplies - NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Rock Tumbler Refill Kit – 1Lb.
