I dug this material about 10 to 20 years ago. I actually pegged the last agate claim in AGATE CREEK. No more can ever be pegged. Probably about half the agate that i have comes from my old claim. The rest comes from all over the field. Places like Black soil. Bald hills. The porcelain patch, and others. There is broken pieces, and lots of full nodules. Sizes range from about 60 grams or a few ounces up to about 5 or 6 kilos, 10 to 12 pounds. I have not weighed it yet. but there is about 15 x 200.liter drums.620 to 660. pounds. 280 to 300 kilo drums. That is about 4,500 kilos.or about 9,500 to 9,900.pounds. A lot of agate. There is no more big lots like this coming out any more. This material is suitable for cabachon work. AND for nice specimens. I HAVE NOT REMOVED THE HIGH GRADE MATERIAL FROM THIS PARCEL. This lot actually took me 10 to 20 years to stockpile. So when its gone that's it. Its a parcel only. WILL NOT BREAK INTO SMALLER LOTS.

We've started unloading the 'rock room' and are finding some amazing material. Most items are already listed under Cabbing Rough Offered, but we've just found an entire shelf full of gorgeous selenite logs (satin spar gypsum from Morocco) I forgot I had. Some of them are huge. We also have some spectacular pieces of alabaster from Utah as well, each piece solid and perfect for stone carvers. Alabaster is the perfect carving medium. It's beautiful. It's relatively soft yet holds excellent detail. It also has none of the cleavage issues we find with some of the soapstones. It's solid and beautiful with some spectactular color combinations available. Selenite can be a bit trickier as it's comprised of long fibers, but when it's carved and polished, it glows with an unequaled translucence and offers a real 'wow' factor at carving shows. Happy carving! Piper Rome email: sculptor[at]shentel.net

This Self Published book is comprised of five plan sets which have consistently sold for 20 dollars each over the last three years or so, plus one plan set usually priced at 10 dollars, PLUS quite a few trix and tips concerning other bench tools, methodology, and efficiency in the Lapidary Shop which have never been offered before. These plan sets have been entirely redone with computer drawings and rewrites to the text which incorporate new information from R & D over the last three years. The book is over 45 pages of cut-and-dried and easy-to-understand How To Build Better Lapidary Equipment information, which will save the buyer THOUSANDS of dollars in equipment costs. I have many many happy customers who have purchased this information as individual plan sets, and do not even consider the cost of the plans themselves, because of the money they saved. Now, you can possess the entire inventory of plan sets as the book How To Build Better Lapidary Equipment, by Bill Gallagher, for a savings of over half, and with this information you can set up a full service lapidary shop for literally pennies on the dollar. With this information you can go into production, if you desire. My diamond saw plans are the easiest, safest, and most effective plans for this type of equipment anywhere. The Vibrating Tumbler plans introduce a whole new way of achieving vibratory energy for abrasion, and unlike so many of the manufactured competitions machines, my design lasts and lasts and lasts. AND it is a lot simpler than anything out there. Over 3 years of long-hours and self-financed R & D went into that design, and it is a better way. The Flat Laps and Bench Grinders are two good chapters with three or four different designs for the grinders, some mine, some gotten from seeing old timers machines. The Giant Rock Saw is a machine I had only heard about 15 years ago, but I built one about 4 years ago, and it worx. These plans tell how to make the Giant Rock Saw, as well as my improvements made to the basic idea. The only thing not in the book is a facetor plan set, and that is because you would need a machine shop to build a facetor, whereas all the machines included here can be built from salvaged parts and lumber easily, safely, and with very little hassle, and they WORK well for a LONG time! Here is the Table of Contents: I. How To Build A 6" 8" or 10" Diamond Saw; II. How To Build A Better Vibrating Tumbler; III. How To Build A Flat Laps for Grinding Sanding Polishing; IV. How To Build Bench Grinders From Old Car Parts; V. How To Build A Giant Rock Saw; VI. Trouble Free and Portable Water Source For ALL Lapidary Applications; VII. Abrasion Theory and Application; VIII. Lapidary Shop Tips, Mounting Motors, Motor Attachments, Stone Holders and Jewelers Vise You Can Make Easily, Obtaining Free Abrasives, Best Supplier Info, MORE; IX. Build a nice large sized slabbing diamond blade drop saw. Excellent and easy design. Perfect for many things, including splitting geodes, preforming spheres, slabbing larger sized materials. Save big dollars by building this awesome saw. X. NEW! Bill Gallaghers design for a jamb peg faceting unit, featuring the innovation you have come to expect. Gems are judged by eye appeal and gem quality. Very few if any gemologists actually measure the angles and degrees of a faceted gem, they want to see bright color in their eye, and that is 99% of making a stone more valuable. Faceting in America has become a rich mans sport, and suffered the ultimate consequence of all inbreeding -- America has fallen behind. People who have used jamb peg facetors include most of the orient, and those folks not only cut world class commercial stones by the zillions daily, they also cut award winning stones too, all via said jamb peg faceting systems. Once one becomes proficient with the jamb peg faceting equipment professional results are not only the norm, but fast too. This design will surprise and delight you in its simplicity and overall improvement to jamb peg faceting. You will learn much quickly. Full report and illustrations, this chapter covers all aspects of jamb peg faceting and will turn your learning curve into a learning spike. If you are looking to get into faceting crystals, this chapter alone is worth the price of the book. Special attention has been paid throughout the book to highlight sourcing of materials by salvage, and modification of the plans to match the particular materials at hand. Building these machines is not hard to do, and do right, for anyone with good mechanical and electrical aptitude. Once you have built a machine you never need worry about breakdown again, because you will know it inside and out, and repair is a breeze.

This unit came from a collection I bought and was barely used. This unit is still being manufactured by Diamond Pacific and costs $2625 new the last time I checked. I am selling my for $900. The unit can be used with silicon carbide grit, or you can use the magnetic backed diamond disks. I use one of these machines for all my flat lapping and it is by far the best lapping machine I have ever used. I also have a 20" Highland Park Vibro style lap which also is barely used. The lapping plate shows very little signs of wear and cosmetically the unit is great. These also are still being manufactured by Diamond Pacific and costs $2010 new. I am selling it for $600. Highland Park designed some of the best equipment ever built for lapdary, so you can't go wrong with either of these units. I also have a 16" Great Western Hydraulic Slabbing Saw. The unit is in good condition but has been repainted. It has a new blade on it and just needs oil. I am selling the saw for $700. You can either pick up the units or I will assist you with shipping.

He used the grinding wheels ONCE on ONE stone and the polishing wheels never. Surfaces on all the wheels look great. Dusty, but hardly a scratch anywhere. The final 50,000 leather disk and pad on the right side come with it, plus a manual and a DP catalog. There is no cab rest pedestal. For specs, see the DP web site. Price is $2,300 firm. Damage: some paint flaking in one of the reservoirs, and both cords for the two gooseneck lights must have came in contact with a grinding wheel, because they are abraded and need simple splicing. One light still works but the other doesn't. For many pix, send me your email address. Free: a wood stand that was built for it. Cash preferred, with pickup in South Bend, IN. New Titans from the factory ship in 2 cartons with 150 pounds total weight. I don’t have any cartons. I will haul it to any shipper in South Bend, but you’ll have to work out the details with them.
