Rock Tumbling
This is a series I did while polishing a load of rocks myself. We used a large variety of precious stones, including petrified woods, agates, jaspers, and other species of chalcedony as well as quartz. We tried to include a lot of different bright colors. When you've watched all the videos, you should have enough information to be able to polish rocks of your own!
Texas Plume Agate
My dad wanted to show you a rare variety of chalcedony called Texas Plume Agate. It exhibits brightly colored plumes of yellow and orange, interspersed with just enough black to make the contrast attractive.
We appreciate the opportunity to introduce people to ever more new and exciting lapidary material!
A New Rock Collection!
One day, a friend let us borrow his truck and horse trailer and went along with us to pick up the balance of a deceased friend's rock collection. We love old collections, because they give us the opportunity to add some of the older, scarcer gemstone varieties to our stock!
In the final video, we open up some of the boxes and let the camera share the adventure of our first peek! If you have the urge to be an explorer, if you want to feel the rush of seeing treasures that have been hidden away for decades, then all you need to do is click the "play" button!
