Drumstones and cuddly toys are shiny, polished stones in different sizes and types. They are made by placing rough stones in a special drum machine, along with polishing, grinding powder and water. The drum machine rotates the stones so that they roll over each other and sand the sharp and rough edges. This can take 4 to 6 weeks. Finally, the stones are polished to smooth, rounded and shiny stones of different sizes. The small tumblestones are most commonly used as ornamental stones. The larger ones are used as hugging stones.
