week? How long does it take??
I don't remember it being weeks. I thought it was a few days. Maybe my recollection is erred, or agates might be a softer stone than those.

The higher the number in grit sizes the smaller the grit is.
If they're really hard it takes a minimum of two weeks and up to five weeks in size 80 carbide grit just to get the rough edges smooth. Then another two weeks in 220 size grit, another two weeks in 600 size grit, another two weeks in 1200 size grit and one week in 3000 size grit. If you want them super glassy smooth you can go up to 14,000 size grit. 14,000 is so micron tiny that it's a very fine dust.
Do you tumble the rocks dry or with water?
In water.
Noisy I bet.
Very, especially the rotary tumblers.
