Carnelian Sanchez, LLC answers every message from the shop floor. Tell us what rough you have, how much there is and what you want the finished stone to look like, and we will reply with a straight answer about the drum. Whether you are booking a full tumbling run, asking about a restoration, or checking whether a mixed bucket is worth the schedule, this is the right place to start. Every note reaches a person who works at the bench, and nothing is handed to a distant call centre.
Drum loads are started at the beginning of each week, so the best time to deliver rough stock is early in the morning.
A complete run from coarse drum to final polish usually takes several weeks, because each grit stage needs its own time and the load is inspected in between. Rushing a stage is how fractures appear, so we let the schedule run rather than the calendar.
Yes. Bring or send your rough and the shop will sort it, tell you which pieces are worth the drum and which are not, then run the load through the full route. If the batch is mixed, rough stock selection happens first.
We do. Collection restoration lifts surface haze and handling wear without grinding away the original shape. Very fragile pieces are treated by hand only, and we record the condition before and after so you can see what changed.
