Virgin Valley, NV Black Opal Mining Claim & Backhoe $20,00
Mine Beautiful Black opals on your own mining claim, cut the opal & make jewelry to sell or sell the opals. Virgin Valley, NV produces the most beautiful opal ever seen. World Famous Bonanza Opal Mines has been a steady producer of beautiful opal for most of the last century. I've seen a lot of opal from the Bonanza & Opal Negra. The Evening Star is a 20 acre claim located at the same elevation and only a few thousand feet from the Bonanza mine and the Opal Negra. I selected for the proximity to the Bonanza mine & the land is very hilly with numerous mining levels to work. Common opal is everywhere. Previous owners found precious opal. I have not worked the claim to find it. There's no doubt that precious opal is there due to location & large amount found in surrounding mines. Forced to sell due to health. A Back Hoe comes with it to work the claim. $20,000.00 Email or call questions.

Russian Fluorite, Datolite-Scarn, & California Lepidolite
I have a Large quantity of Russian Fluorite (mostly purple/rainbow), Datolite-Scarn, and Lepidolite from the Thursday Mine in San Diego County which I am in the process of liquidating. (Note: I am one of the mine owners f the Thursday Mine). This material is suitable for Tumbling, Cabbing, Carving, or sphere making. Pieces range from small (tumbling size) to large of 100 Lbs., or in the case of the Lepidolite, much larger. I am pricing this material to move it out quickly. $ 2.00/Lb., for tumbling size. $ 3.00/Lb., for larger sizes, $ 6.00/Lb., for select pieces. For larger quantities, including barrel lots, which will average 600 Lbs.+, I can deleiver, for a charge within a reasonable distance from Bakersfield, California. I have a limited number of larger pieces of Fluorite and Datolite-Scarn which will weigh in excess of 100Lbs +, which would be excellent material for sphere makers. I also have a number of LARGE pieces of Charoite which weigh in excess of 100 Lbs., or more, pictures available, and P.O.R. Robert L. Papac E-Mail: getback@csurfers.net

I’m now offering these sacks at $2,000.00 each plus shipping, insurance and handling.

NM White Tiger, Tiger King, SNOW WHITE, 8-Ball Black, Yellow Marble, MORE
Here for your perusal I offer presentations concerning several new gem grade materials being discovered in the 3X8 mine in New Mexico. All are nearly 6.0 in hardness, and polish extremely well. The white magmatic orthoclase (Tentative Albite/Andularia) is of course extremely rare, and of the most Potent White, trade named SNOW WHITE. Available in Quantity. The black crystalline Monzonite is trade named 8-Ball, in reference to its resemblance to the #8 ball in a billiard set, once polished. It is available in quantity as well, and very pure. Prices for those two materials start at $20.00 USD per pound, with generous volume discounting possible. Also available from my mining is a good stock of New Mexico Tiger King cabbing rough, alongwith New Mexico Yellow Sculpting marble, each with a hardness of only 4.5. These two materials take a wonderful shine via zam, and both are extremely figural, with the latter being a fossiliferous limestone deformed by subsequent vulcanism, odd, yellow, and beautiful. Finally the White Tiger is a gem grade ortho-siderite whose quantity is extremely scarce, though available at this time at $25.00 per ounce. Please Write for pricing and present availabilities. A sampling of all materials in a flat rate box is available during this special offer, for $125.00 USD post paid in the USA. You will receive 5 pounds of each rock mentioned, minus the White Tiger, which is comparable to the higher grades of natural turquoise, and will be included in these sample packs in 4 ounce quantities per. Kindly click on (Or copy and paste) each individual address below to go to a separate presentation of these stone types.

BOOK OF PLANS: How To Build Better Lapidary Equipment
How To Build Diamond Saws, Vibrating Tumblers, Giant Rock Saws, Slabbing Drop Saws, Flat Laps, Bench Grinders, A Portable and Trouble Free water source for all Lapidary Operations, and much more.....This book is comprised of six 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 tricks and tips concerning other bench tools, methodology, and efficiency in the Lapidary Shop which have never been offered before. This book will save you many years and lots of dollars.....These plan sets incorporate a lot of new information from R & D over the last five years. The book is cut-and-dried, easy-to-understand How To Build Better Lapidary Equipment information, well illustrated. 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....If you build just one of the vibrating tumblers you will save several hundred dollars right there... 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....... 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 6 years ago, and it works. These plans tell how to make the Giant Rock Saw, as well as my improvements made to the basic idea. The slabbing drop saw is an excellent design I recently came across, and thanks to Der Kid on that one. I have modified the design for simplicity where possible, and it really is a very easy way of making a precision diamond saw which will handle the largest blade sizes without any problems. 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, plus 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. How To Build A Trouble Free and Portable Water Source For ALL Lapidary .........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, MORE..........IX. NEW! Simple plans to easily construct a slabbing drop saw, without the need for screw feeds or specialty casing.......X. Suppliers Catalog Info........ 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...paypal $49.95 (USA) to the gmail address included with this ad, or send check or money order to the post office box 125 Hachita NM 88040....I ship worldwide.

20" Vi-Bro-Lap
I have a 20" Vi-Bro-Lap that has seen little if any work. I suspect that the red shipping hold down ring has never been off this machine. The polishing pad is still in a plastic bag. It's shape is a cube of 21 inches. The actual weight is 93 lbs. The cheapest shipping I have found is to deliver it to a terminal for terminal delivery or delivery to a business address. May be picked up in West Michigan or your preference for shipping. This is a commercial quality machine. I am unsure of the actual age but the label is VI-BRO-LAP of Yakima Washington. Maybe before Highland Park and then Diamond Pacific bought them out? Picture is available. $800 which is less then 1/2 the current list new. If unsold I will consider the best offer made on or before Leap Day 2008.

Lortone 14" Drop Saw
I have a used Lortone 14" drop saw with an oil circulating pump. This saw is no longer made but is considereed ideal for preforming rocks for spheres. The saw has the blade and motor on an arm pivoting about a horizontal axis, so that the arm can be lifted, a rock securred and the blade allowed to press down against the rock by gravity. For slabs the rock stays in place and the blade is moved by a screw. This type of saw will cut closer to the hub than other type saws. May be shipped by UPS in 2 boxes. Comes with extra mist control flaps. Pictures available. With blade. $450 plus shipping, saw is in Michigan.
