The Tumblokzy is designed for children ages 8 and up. Its simple operation makes it accessible, but younger children will enjoy it most with initial guidance and supervision from an adult to get started.

A complete tumbling cycle with the Tumblokzy typically takes about 7 days per grit stage. The entire process to achieve beautifully polished stones usually spans 3-4 weeks, teaching patience and rewarding persistence.

The Tumblokzy's leak-proof rubber barrel contains all water and grit securely inside. The process is very clean when following the instructions, with minimal mess during the brief unloading and rinsing phases between cycles.

Absolutely! The Tumblokzy works great with professionally sourced gemstones included in the kit and with interesting, hard rocks you find yourself, like quartz or agate, expanding the possibilities for discovery.

The Tumblokzy is specifically engineered to be quiet. Its soft rubber barrel absorbs impact, making it significantly quieter than hard plastic tumblers—about 75% quieter for peaceful operation in your home.

The Tumblokzy kit includes the tumbler machine, one pound of rough gemstones, four polishing grits, jewelry fastenings, glue, and a detailed learning guide—everything needed to start polishing right out of the box.

While the Tumblokzy is designed for easy kid-use, we recommend adult supervision for the initial setup and when handling the polishing grit. Once running, the automatic timer allows for largely independent operation.

The Tumblokzy's timer is simple: you press a button to set it for a 7-day cycle. It will run continuously and then shut off automatically, making the multi-week process hassle-free and easy to manage.
