    Hello, all.  I've been lurking for quite a while, and I wanted to
    say how much I appreciate the helpfulness and incredible knowledge
    base that is out there - thanks! My questions about polishing:  I was
    given a vibratory tumbler, and would like to use it to polish
    finished jewelry.  Can I use walnut shell with stone-set jewelry? 
    Including turqoise and amber?  Someone mentioned walnut shells
    charged with rouge.  How do I "charge" it with rouge?  Drop a few
    chunks in?  Do you do all that dry, or have it all in a water
    slurry?  My biggest concern is,  will it remove the firescale? 
    Thanks in advance, Rynn in sunny, sunny Colorado.  Daffodils are just
    beginning to peek out, and the dog water still skins over at night,
    but spring is here.  Finally!
