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.

This is the cabbing machine I use:

– 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.

Hi. I am a great, great granddaughter if Chief Petoskey. I once saw a Petoskey stone in a mineral shop in the German Alps. What a surprise!

Hi, beautiful stone and great video. I like the way you polished it. Keep them coming!

I've never seen a Petoskey stone before. If we have them in SC, I have never been aware of it. Very special and beautiful!

Oooooh those are some of my favorite fossils. Corals look soo cool. ❤

[claudiakoprinock]

Wow it looks like cupcake liners all those ridges. It is beautiful polished. I doubted it would look good when you started polishing it. Wow you know your rocks and fossils. Hope you do more videos. Probably a lot of us love rocks. We were taught to find arrowheads in Pennsylvania where I am from. We found over 20 of them and turned them into the historical society.
