Stone (rolled)

    Rolled stones are minerals, or gemstones, or rocks which are put in a barrel with an abrasive.
    The barrel turns for hours, even day, to wear out stones like that takes place over time in a river. We obtain then pebbles or gravels.
    The quality of the polishing is going to depend on the time of abrasion and on the sharpness of used abrasives.
