Rocks to Avoid Tumbling

Video Description

Do you ever wonder which rocks you should pick up on the beach and which ones you should leave behind? In this video, I'll show you how I decide which rocks would probably not do well in a rock tumbler. Then I'll tumble those poor choices so you can see how rocks like those will turn out.
