These are the grits I used to polish the Petoskey stone beads. This is wet/dry sandpaper available at automotive stores.

This is the procedure I used in the Lot-O tumbler for the unakite beads:
2 TBSP 220 grit silicon carbide for two days
1/2 tsp 500 grit aluminum oxide and 1 TBSP borax for three days
1/2 tsp aluminum oxide polish and 1 TBSP borax for two days
