Beading and Jewelry Making Business Inventory for Sale
$4,500 Or Best Offer. Free Shipping in the lower 48 states. Up for sale is a Beading and Jewelry making business Inventory. The person who used to own this Inventory has passed away and I was asked to put it up for sale by a friend of their family. This is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to start a small beading business. As you can see from the pictures(http://www.devastones.com/beads.html), there is a considerable amount of merchandise here, such as stone beads, turquoise, mother of Pearl, shell, silver beads, silver plated beads, sterling silver beads, and coral. Plus raw materials for making more like turquoise, amethyst, etc. I’m not sure what the estimated retail value of all this merchandise is, because I didn’t have time to price everything. I did a little research on a couple of things, like the rough turquoise, and I got a price of anywhere from $10 to $20 an ounce wholesale. So, if I was very conservative and used the $10 an ounce figure, the rough turquoise alone in this lot would come out at about $3,467 wholesale. Just based on that estimate, I would say that the retail value of this collection, if someone is piecing it out as a business, would be at least $20,000. This merchandise will ship in two parcels with a total weight of 120 lbs. FREE SHIPPING to the lower 48 states. Pictures are here -->http://www.devastones.com/beads.html If you have any questions, feel free to send me an e-mail or give me a call.

Rich Turquoise Gravels Hachita NM - Mine Turquoise at Home!
3 and 1/2 pounds of gravel very rich in turquoise delivered to your door in a priority envelope for $15.00. You can find 1 to 6 ounces or more of Hachita Natural turquoise, depending on how good you are and how diligent. Limited quantities, while they last, flat rate boxes available too for 75.00 each, delivered, approximately 20+ pounds. I am salvaging 8-10 yards of old caliche mine-run stored in the 1970s, which was taken from the best producer at Turquoise Mountain near Hachita NM at that time. It was stored and then the land was sold, and I obtained the entire load. Within these bags of gravel which were left over from my screening operation will reside small veins and nugget turquoise, in its natural state, and suitable for inlay, beads, and small cabs. A lot of this material works well with no treatments whatsoever, and drills and takes a very high polish quickly. A lot of this material, once sorted out and cleaned with water, sounds like glass chips in the bag. As your eyes become sensitized to the turquoise pieces shapes and colors, you will be amazed at the real amount you can find in these lots. A good shake, a little water sprayed, and more turquoise shows, seemingly forever. Others can go through your gravel after you and still find pieces! Optivisors or other magnification help a lot. Please write with questions. All forms of payment are honored, and I do like to barter.

How to Build Better Lapidary Equipment -- Book Of Plans
Book Of Plans: How To Build Better Lapidary Equipment........How To Build Diamond Trim Saws, Large Sized Diamond Drop Saws, Vibrating Tumblers, Giant Rock Saws For Cutting Decorative Tiles and Facings, Great Flat Laps, Bench Grinders, A Portable and Trouble Free water source for all Lapidary Operations, and much more. 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. Danny Lopackis 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! 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. 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. Write with questions please.

New Find Namanga Garnet Rough .97/ct
We are excited to offer a new find from the Namanga area of Kenya, Africa - a garnet that can cut a large, deep red stone without going black like most garnet. Average piece size is just under 9 carats and because of its makeup you can keep every bit possible in your finished stone. It is only about 50% pyrope, and the remainder is a mix of almadine and spessartite. On any darker red pieces we would still suggest you take the mains to the critical angle. This is a facet grade bag-pour offer at a super price, so you will get some mediocre, some AAA material in a mix of sizes. Larger pieces may require sawing or grinding. 20g minimum

Rare Demantoid Garnets from Jeffrey Mine, Asbestos, Canada
I have just found them this spring 2009. I have been collecting minerals from Jeffrey mine for over 15 years and I had never seen Demantoid garnets there before. Most collectors know that it is almost impossible to find any kind of garnets inside this mine. Imagine how amazed I was when I discovered them… Wow! If you are a serious collector of semi-precious stones, or garnets specimens, I presently have many specimens available for sale. Unfortunately, I don’t have a web site to show them, but if you are interested, please contact me by email and I will be pleased to send you some quality pictures and detailed information.

New Mineral Specimens at AA Mineral Specimens website
AA Mineral Specimens has on offer the specimens from one of Australias best known private collections. Probably the most significant are a series of saleeite samples from the Ranger Mine in Australia's Northern Territory. This series of sample were taken in the very early stages of the mine and presented to the VIPs at the official opening. The saleeite is enclosed in a form of transparent perpex that absorbs any radiation from this secondary uranium mineral. These saleeites are quite unique from an historical point of veiw and are selling quickly. Also available is a truly huge specimen of atacamite from Mt Gunson in South Australia. The specimen of highly crystaline gold from New Guinea is quite spectacular. A special mention must be made of a beautiful pale pink mangano calcite. This is specimen will be a centre peice in some collector's cabinet.These specimens are on our home page of veiwable by putting the species name in the "SEARCH" box and clicking on the arrow. Try looking at the Broken Hill rhodonites, cassiterite, cerrusite and actinolite. The actinolite is truly of spectacular size for those who like BIG.

Pezzotaite; Pearceite; Tanzanian Spessartine; Elbaite
Pezzottaite thumbnails: These are from the type locality in Madagascar, are very rare, and are priced well under what others are selling comparable specimens for. Discovered in 2002, Pezzottaite is the cesium analogue of Beryl. Pearceite thumbnails: These are from the Uchucchacua Mine, Oyon Province, Lima Department, Peru (the famous Rhodochrosite locality), and are very nice crystalline specimens. Thumbnails of the much sought after Spessartine garnet crystals from Loliondo, Tanzania: These are the bright tangerine-orange euhedral crystals which caused such a stir at the Tucson show when they first came out in 2008. 6 miniatures of watermelon Elbaite crystals from the famous Pederneira Mine, Minas Gerais, Brazil: They have great color, clarity, and are all well terminated, making them suitable for both collectors and lapidaries.

World's Most Unique Rose Rock For Sale
Lots of pictures available through email. Noble, OK area rose rock. I am the original owner and I unearthed this dazzling one of a kind specimen in 1996. When this rose rock formed millions of years ago it actually 'grew' in the crook of a piece of wood making for one of mother nature's most awesome rock and petrified wood combinations. Be the envy of other rock hounds by adding this piece to your collection. Serious inquiries only please. $1,500.00 OBO. Negotiable.

Large Log Section Deschutes River Petrified Oak Sale/Trade
Greetings - First off I appreciate your time viewing my posting. What I have to offer is a 530 Pound Piece of Petrified Oak Wood from the Deschutes River Canyon in North Oregon. The wood was collected years ago by an old timer in my local town. I've owned the log for about 5 years now. The piece is the butt end of a log section, however it has several holes and also has a area of exterior rot where the log was laying down for years. It could be used for Lapidary use... However I believe this would make a outstanding center piece or conversation piece for your garden area. The log section has a cut (unpolished) face, great earth tone colors and is really a great looking piece of wood. I'm asking $650 or I'll trade? Let me know what you have - all I can do is say no =)
