Come to Petoskey with me for a rock hunt that included more than just Petoskey stones. I'll show you five that I polished too.

– MERCH –
Buy Michigan Rocks shirts and other merchandise here.

– HIGHLAND PARK LAPIDARY –
Highland Park makes some high quality tools at reasonable prices. I have two of their tumblers. They're the most rugged tumblers I have seen. They also make a wide range of other lapidary tools, including saws, sphere machines, cabbers, etc. They also have the best price on grit that I have found.
I make a commission if you buy something through this link. I doesn't cost you extra.

– 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 of rough rock, tumblers, grit, jewelry supplies etc. at good prices. 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 and rough rock 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 Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases. It doesn't cost you extra.

– SUBSCRIBE –
On Michigan Rocks you can join me on relaxing rock hunts in picturesque Michigan. I'll also show you how to polish rocks and teach you other lapidary techniques. New videos are posted every Friday and some Tuesdays. Subscribe now so you don't miss any upcoming videos!

One of my favorite things about your videos is when you interrupt the video to do what you said. Many times in videos you hear what they are going to do but, nothing is ever said or shown...Keep up the great work! thanks for sharing!

I think your "so-so Petoskey stone" at 12:12 is just beautiful! I really like it when you cut in the video to show polishing or slabbing the rock you've picked up on the beach. Thanx! 🥰

Glad to have caught you both - ironically just after midnight here in UK - but have developed a major love and truth about rocks over the past year and amazing to watch peoples delight and amazement in these wonderful beings - rocks !

Growing up in Petoskey I would go after it rained and find Petoskey stones in my driveway. Love these stones!

Glad to see you on the western side. Great video as always, thanks for the polish cuts in the video. That way we didn’t have to wait.

True story here! I live in NW Arkansas but was a travel nurse and did an assignment in Alma MI. I would travel around the state on my days off and one day I went to Petosky. On the way, I stopped at a farm stand and they had a tub with water in it and were selling rocks for $1. When I got back to work I told my coworkers "You wouldn't believe they were trying to sell rocks for $1." Well, my friends laughed and then explained about the Petosky stones. I was so disgusted that I missed the opportunity to get a load of those beautiful stones. My Dad was an amateur rock hound and would have had a ball with them. Live and learn. I did buy some pretty jewelry pieces that had the Petoskey stones in them. Leave it to a tourist!! Haha!!!

Lake Michigan will always have a place in my heart. ( I’m a 1961 model born in whitefish bay Wisconsin ) I really enjoyed this video …

I don’t know if you recall -you and I commented about our mothers… I was my mom’s caretaker for 3 1/2 years and then we put her into assisted-living. Well Rob - the monster that is dementia finally got her on March 15. She was 89 years old.

Mother and I watched your videos together and she loved seeing the Great Lakes- her grandfather was a steamboat captain on Lake Michigan…. I love how you stop in mid video to show us how you buff those rocks.

Oh & I’m that guy down here in Arkansas promoting the crater of diamonds 💎 State Park in Murfreesboro

I love your channel & I love how you love what you’re doing !

My 10 yo daughter loves your videos. She collects rocks from the stream that runs in our back yard and rocks from the ocean. We live in Maine.

I liked how you did the stones right after you found them. A before and after 😊

Petoskey stones! They started my love of rock collecting when i was 10. And Agates. I found an Agate at a Mich. lake once, that when cut and polished looked like it had the Enterprise centered in it!
