– KINGSLEY NORTH –
Kingsley North is a lapidary store in Michigan’s U.P. They make a great cab machine and sell many other brands too. They have a huge selection rough rock, tumblers, grit, jewelry supplies etc. at good prices. I buy most of my coarse grit from here in 45 lb. bags. It’s the best price I have found. If you buy using the following link, I make a small commission.

– THE ROCK SHED –
I buy a lot of lapidary supplies from The Rock Shed. I don’t make money from your purchases there, but they have good prices and good service. This is where I buy my finer grits and polish.
– AMAZON STOREFRONT –
I also have an Amazon storefront. This is where you can find other products you may have seen in my videos. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. It doesn’t cost you extra.

I found this while looking for something else on your channel and have to thank you for solving a riddle for me 🙂 I have a brooch and I couldn’t figure out what the stone was . It was Rhodonite 🙂 So again Thanks for the help 🙂
Beautiful! How did you do in the competition?
Very nice! And I really enjoyed the long detailed video!
one of my favorite rocks. you can find it on vancouver island where i live:)
These are gorgeous, so smooth and shiny. You did a wonderful job.
玫瑰石，
These look very beautiful!
Just got back from Lake Superior after 4 days of rock hunting. Ordered a tumbler tonight and can’t wait to see what the agates look like. Didn’t find to many big ones but the trip was just for relaxation and fun. Love learning from your channel. Next time I go up north the waders are a must, wet feet twice in 4 days. Lots of cool rocks just out of reach. Thanks again❤️
the last one you showed alone was my favourite, looks like a forest landscape it’s lovely!!!
very pretty, reminds me of sunsets and trees. All of them that you showed are really nice. Hope you won.
it’s like a stone red borneo
Hey, I love your informative videos. So you were saying you spent several weeks in stage 1 in a rotary and then competed in Lot-O.
I started tumbling in March and I have a bunch of rotary tumblers and I’m thinking about a Lot-O (double barrel) but my concern is they’re expensive and only warranty for 90 days (motor).
Are the Lot-O tumblers (single and double) in your experience reliable?
Thank you in advance for sharing your opinion. Best,
Lili
nice job tumbling the difficult material, Rob. thanks for sharing! i am partial to pinks for some reason. i have some pink in a Thulite which i picked up last month, and can’t wait to see how it turns out. good luck in the Comp. -NevadaBill
These are beautiful! What did you place?

in your opinion what would be the best way to tumble Amazonite? if you don’t mind me asking
