Tumbled minerals and precious stones are popular for the wide range of creative and decorative uses they offer, as well as for their variety of colours. You can use them when making jewellery, candles, talismans or as a standalone decoration. They have found their place in esoteric practice, yoga and meditation, as well as in everyday households. They are widely used in the macramé technique, where knotted cords create a net around the stone. When making decorations, try using macramé yarn or hobby wire and S-lon cord for making jewellery. Tumbled fragments of natural stone are unworked and irregular in size and colour, but compared to raw stones, they are shaped into rounded forms.
