Or does salt act differently

This supply chain issues are a pain.
I tried to get some parts for my tumbler, a belt and rollers.
Nope, nanda, supply chain issue.
So I wear this one as the time has come in life to get on with some well forgotten projects.
The tumbler, bought the whole set up-yet it sat there unused in the box for over a decade +++++
Now I want to use it and the world is throwing roadblocks up.
Simple is stupid.
Just wanted to polish up my Lapis.

Lightly last evening.
Heard it stronger in the night.
It has let up for now with more tonight and all of tomorrow. (?)

Wondering what a reloading ammo brass case media tumbler for reloading would do for your stones.
If one is available cheap second hand in your area.

Media varies , with ground corncob one option.

You could tape a paint can of them to your truck wheel next time you go to town. Make sure the lid is kept secure. L.o.l..
A creek or something might be harnessed to tumble a basket or something too.
