Can you polish seashells in a rock tumbler? I had to find out. After eating some delicious seafood, I saved the oyster and clam seashells and ran a full tumbling and polishing cycle using rock tumbling grit and ceramic media. In this video, I show the results of tumbling seashells in a rock tumbler, step-by-step.

If you've ever wondered how to polish seashells at home or if it's possible to use your rock tumbler on seashells, this experiment is for you. These were real dinner seashells—straight off my plate—and I wanted to see if they could be polished like rocks.

In this video, you'll learn:
● How to tumble and polish seashells using rock tumbling grit
● What to expect when tumbling shells (like clam and mussel shells)
● Tips for polishing fragile or thin seashells in a tumbler
● The full tumbling process: coarse grit, medium grit, fine grit, and polish

🌊 Grit Used: Rock tumbling grit (not beach sand)
🌀 Tumbler Used: Rotary tumbler
🐚 Materials: Seashells from a seafood dinner

This is a fun, weird, and slightly ridiculous rock tumbling experiment—perfect for beginner rockhounds, rock tumblers, crafts and anyone curious about what else you can polish in a tumbler besides rocks.

ROCK ON!! 😁👍🪨⛏️
