As many know, treating emeralds with oils or polymers, you like to put them under a vacuum and then pressure and then a vacuum to work the treatment in. I don't do it for a living, so I have one of those food storage baggers that I use. I have only used it on an aquamarine, but the principal is there. So while I am looking for something else in Amazon, I get this suggestion for a meat vacuum marinator. You put a vacuum in and then it tumbles what is inside it. I then picture a bunch of emeralds going round and round. :D

It is much more complicated than I think you will find im an off the shelf Amazon solution.

If you can wait a bit I may be able to help you. The machine I have designed works very well. I am currently sold out, but have a couple of dozen on order from the machine shop in China where I have the pressure vessel CNC machined. The machine works very well and is affordable. A number of people from the community here use them.

This was not meant to be taken seriously. I don't know anyone that would put precious emeralds in a tumbler.
