I just can't get enough of the transition from rough to polished. This one took 36 minutes to polish, but would have probably been only half that if I hadn't been filming it.

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.

  • Top 5 Questions and Answers: What is it? How was it formed? Answer: It's a Petoskey stone, which is a fossilized coral. It's also Michigan's state stone. I think it looks like a turtle! (Not really a question, I know.) Answer: The pattern on it really does look similar to a turtle shell, which is why I make these little guys: kzhead.info2MVTZq0DQew Why didn't you tumble it? Answer: Because Petoskey stones are really soft compared to a lot of other rocks. That makes them difficult, but not impossible to tumble. They almost alway look better done the way I did the one in this video. Why didn't you skip the first wheel or two? The rock got a lot smaller. Answer: It had three holes about 1/8 inch deep and also a concave part that the wheels couldn't get into. I decided to remove those by grinding them out. In other areas, I didn't grind too much off. What's that grinding machine you're using? Where can I get one? Answer: It's called a cab machine. Mine is from Kingsley North. You can find a link to it in the description of this video.

    • Petoskey Stones are simply fossilized coral from when the land mass of Michigan was still an ocean. As land moved and separated the coral obviously died. Out of climate. Ice ages. But that’s the jist. Fossilized coral. Don’t put them in tumblers though as they will just disintegrate. Do it like seen here.
