[Rockhounds] Abrasives for tumbling

Depends on whether they'll go that low in quantity, but Jesco Products
has been far and away the cheapest for me, $/lb delivered to my
doorstep, for many years, for coarse SiC (30) and fine (220), the latter
of which I buy less often.  I buy 100 lbs of each at a time.  :-)
And it's $1.50/lb or less.

Otherwise I can only suggest web-hunting for best prices.

You do know, right, that you can reuse prepolish and polish oxides?
