Over one year in stage one and I still couldn’t get out all the imperfections. This was a large, pitted chunk of Botswana agate when I started. I think it came out pretty groovy. #bluewizardrocks#lapidary#rocktumbling#botswanaagate
A really cool colored west Texas agate I cut and face polished. You never know what you are getting when you cut these guys. #bluewizardrocks#lapidary#facepolish
Sometimes you get a winner! I believe this is a Trancas geode out of Chihuahua, Mexico. Sweet amethyst center and beautiful banding around the edge. Nice! #bluewizardrocks#lapidary#geode#amethyst
Here is a sample of some of the Nebraska blue chalcedony I picked up from @Rock & Art Shop I didn’t specifically ask for cabbing size material but I definitely got some! They threw in a nice LSA as a thank you (last rock). Great pricing on rough rocks, check them out! #bluewizardrocks#lapidary
My first real attempt at hand-polishing amber!
Watching this piece of raw Dominican amber (about 20 million years old) slowly transform and reveal itself as beautiful blue amber was such a rewarding experience. Every piece has a surprise waiting inside. #fossil#amber#gemstone#lapidary
