Spectacular Myrickite Specimen
I have a very beautiful and rare slab of Myrickite that I would like to sell. This museum worthy piece came from the Manhattan Mercury mine in Northern California. The mine site was obliterated by a large gold mining operation, (now closed down), So this piece is irreplaceable. My offering is a slab which is 6 inches wide at its widest point by almost 20 inches long. Thickness is 3/8 inch at one end and 3/4 inch at the other. The myrickite band runs the entire length of the slab. It is a solid piece and could be face polished for a real show-stopper specimen. Or, one could make a bunch of high-dollar cabochons out of it. I have cut cabs from this same material in the past and they are an easy sale. I would like to get about $2900 for the piece with the seller additionally responsible for postage and insurance. Please...Serious inquiries only. I will send photos on request. Thanks!

Rock's of San Antonio 14" Slab Saw for Sale
Saw is in great shape and is ready to start slabbing. Blade cuts straight and has plenty of diamond left, motor runs good and has good belt. No issues with the vise or feed. This is a weight feed saw and comes with several different weights. Saw hood has two viewing windows installed (they do not leak). Saw has been cleaned of all sludge. Saw comes with oil (oil is clean, but looks dis-colored because I had just done a few test cuts). The saw sits on a metal frame stand and can be easily removed. Saw can also be used on a countertop if so desired. This is a great saw that cuts fast and doesn't take up alot of space. I have one of my own and use it all the time. Price is $850 cash. Saw may be picked up on the north side of Canyon Lake TX 78133. I will also deliver this saw in the central TX area for a fee (let me know where you live and we'll discuss). Google 14" slab saws and you'll see what a great deal this is. More pics / info and video at http://www.riverbendlapidary.com/saw/index.html

Seeking a small or medium combo lapidary unit!
Help! I am looking for a small or medium sized combo lapidary unit to use at home. My club has a workshop, but it is only available limited times, and due to my long work hours I am rarely able to go. So, I have all of this fabulous rock sitting in my backyard and sadly no equipment to cab with. My house and garage are very small, so I do not have the space for larger equipment. I would prefer used, in good condition, and reasonably priced. My funds are limited and I do not know enough about equipment to do a lot of repairs or refurbishing. I live in the San Francisco Bay area, but am willing to drive a little for the right equipment at the right price. Thanks in advance!!! Stacy

I recently inherited a large collection (>1000) of loose semi-precious gemstones and a collection of other stones, pearls, and beads. Our family has no interest in these gemstones and is looking for an artisan, business, enthusiast, or collector that might find this collection of interest. We are looking for someone that is willing make an offer to purchase the collection as a whole. I have shown this collection to both owners of Bernie's Rock Shop in Madison and the Howard Academy for the Metal Arts in Stoughton. They both took the time to view each of the trays in detail and noted it was a nice collection that anyone with an interest in gemstones could feel good about considering. These are polished and ready to mount into jewelry settings and are not rough uncut stones. I would like to invite you to go the link below to see images of the collection and to get a sense of this collection: http://madison.craigslist.org/jwl/2629522330.html More high definition images of the collection are available at this site (please allow a few minutes for the large file size images to load from my server): http://www.econsultantsolutions.com/gem_collection/gem_collection.htm Please feel free to call me at 608.628.4481 with any questions.

Need to know how to remove blade from a rock saw?
Bought an old 16" Royal Rock Saw made by Jenkins Lapidary Equipment, Portland, Oregon. Needs a new blade but I don't know how to remove old blade. Is it left hand or right hand thread? It has a large 1-1/8" nut on saw side and an aluminum pulley wheel on other side of saw shaft. How do I hold the shaft while unscrewing the saw nut? It is on very tight and I will need a lot of pressure. I don't want to damage the pulley (it has thin aluminum spokes instead of a solid pulley wheel) or the pulley shaft--- should I remove the pulley first? If I remove the pulley first, how should I hold the pulley shaft while unscrewing the saw retainer nut? Large vice grips might work but they may damage the pulley-saw shaft. Any suggestions are welcome.

Do you have any cabs, freeform designer stones or fossils that you would like to convert to pendants or jewelry components easily and inexpensively? I can custom electroform (gold plate)all kinds of non-metallic cabs, freeform stones, crystals, jewelry components, many fossils, and more with a heavy layer of 18kt gold. For example, I can plate the roots of shark teeth or create caps (bails) on stones that look like molten gold. I can make necklace links out of items like coral, polished stones, beads,shells,etc. The gold finish shines like polished chrome, is very durable and will not peel, fade, or change color. And the cost is as little as $6 per item.

Looking for supplier of 18 Inch Polished Rocks
We are the franchisors of Centerstone Hotels. We have a program standard for all of our hotels called “Lucky Centerstone.” There is a large (about 18 inches in height) polished stone sealed to a wooden base that sits at every front desk of a Centerstone Hotel. At check-out, the hotel owners give away a small polished stone to all guests. We are looking for a supplier of these stones. We are researching companies who would be able to take orders from hotel owners for both the large and the small stones and ship them to hotels. We estimate bringing in about 15-20 hotels a year, each hotel getting one large stone, and then they will continue to order the small stones (at about 1000 at a time). Please respond or give me a call to discuss further if you are interested in this business and are able to find the stone we are looking for or if you can point us in the right direction. Thank you!!
