Teach-D Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I know this is not the spot for this but I thought I could get a little information. I am looking for an inexpensive rock polishing kit. You know the kind you used to polish agates as a young lad or lass. Any information as to where to go to get this type of thing would be greatly appreciated. I am a teacher and their is a student that has a rock collection and is interested in gems, etc... That is why I am looking for this.Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IFallsRon Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 My kids started with a $20 unit from Fleet. We bring it on longer camping trips. Baker Craft in St. Cloud has a large line of polishers.Check out this thread:http://FishingMinnesota.com/ubb/Forum43/HTML/001534.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 You can get the tumbler and grit in Cabela's catalog. Most nature shops or craft/hobby shops sell them. Online you might want to look here; http://www.facetit.com/tumbler.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redlantern Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I got my oldest daughter one for Christmas last year. She lives with her mom in an apartment so she tumbled rocks here. Too cold to have in the garage so it was in the basement. Most annoying, never ending noise I've had to put up with in my life. You've been warned.------------------Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
