Anyone who has found shiny fragments of glass, beautifully rounded pebbles, or highly polished shells on a sandy beach, has seen how continual abrasion and impacts can shape and polish even the roughest surfaces. These beach treasures have probably been in the sea for years. Fortunately, electric tumblers are hundreds of times quicker and a lot more convenient.
Although tumblers is the popular name, they're also called rotary tumblers, lapidary tumblers, jewellery tumblers, barrelling machines, glass polishers, and stone tumblers. Cutting, faceting, and polishing stones, minerals, and gems is called lapidary.
