Discover the Hidden Beauty Beneath the Surface.
As a science educator and a lifelong hobbyist, I believe the best toys are the ones that spark a genuine sense of wonder. There's a special kind of magic in taking something ordinary and revealing its extraordinary inner beauty. The MAXX Explore Rock Tumbler Kit is a perfect embodiment of that magic. It’s not just a toy; it’s a hands-on scientific journey that transforms rough, plain-looking rocks into beautiful, gleaming gemstones.
A Rewarding Lesson in Science and Patience
This is the perfect introductory kit for any budding geologist. Unlike other sets, it comes with everything you need to get started right out of the box. You get the durable tumbler, a beautiful assortment of rough gemstones, and all four stages of polishing grit required for the transformation. The process is a fantastic, tangible lesson in how nature's own process of abrasion and polishing works. It teaches patience and anticipation as kids check their tumbling barrel each week, watching as the rocks slowly become smoother and shinier. The final reveal, when you pour out the dazzling, polished gems, is a truly rewarding experience that fosters a love for science and the natural world.
How Your Tumbler Works (4 Easy Stages)
- Stage 1 (Coarse Grit): Add rocks, water, and Grit #1 to the barrel. Tumble for about a week to shape the rough rocks.
- Stage 2 (Medium Grit): Clean rocks and barrel. Tumble with water and Grit #2 for another week to smooth the surfaces.
- Stage 3 (Pre-Polish): Repeat the cleaning process. Tumble with water and Grit #3 for a week to prepare for the final polish.
- Stage 4 (Final Polish): After a final cleaning, tumble with water and Grit #4. This final stage brings out the brilliant, glassy shine of your gemstones!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to polish the rocks?
Rock tumbling is a process that teaches patience! Each of the four grit stages can take several days to a week to run. The entire process from rough rock to polished gem typically takes 3 to 4 weeks.
Is a rock tumbler noisy?
Yes, all rock tumblers make noise as the rocks and grit tumble inside the barrel. It's a continuous, low humming/rumbling sound. We recommend running the tumbler in a garage, basement, or another out-of-the-way room where the noise will not be disruptive.
