    Thanks for the reply. I've actually never tumbled anything, so I
    don't even know where to start as far as media is concerned.  I did
    a bit of searching on the net and found a couple of "grit kits" for
    tumble polishing. I knew about the softness...I just figured that I
    would check the stones every couple of hours or so on the coarsest
    grit. Do you think that might work?
