Tumble & Chip Stones
Pocket-sized and polished smooth — the way most collections start.
Tumble stones are rough pieces polished smooth in a rotating barrel over several weeks, which is why they cost a fraction of a carved piece and why no two are identical. They are how most collections start: pocket-sized, hard to damage, and cheap enough to buy the stone you're curious about rather than the one you're sure of. We stock them across the full range of stones — amethyst, rose quartz, tiger's eye, black tourmaline, citrine, jade and dozens more. One buying note worth knowing: much of the trade sells these in bulk multipacks, so check the quantity in the title before comparing prices anywhere.
