What is Granite tumbled?
Tumbled granite tumbled is primarily popular for the visual appeal of its black markings, on a pink- or reddish-brown base. It tumbles very well and takes a nice polish, so it's often found on the market in the form of tumbled stones. It is also cut into beads and occasionally larger jewelry stones. The material is primarily mined in India and Brazil.
