RE: Lapidary Equipment for sale, trade, wanted or just plan helpful tips May 3 2008, 7:13 PM EDT \| Post edited: May 3 2008, 7:13 PM EDT I have everything you listed in rough or slab. Some may be in low quantity. I would have to look. I do not carry Apache Rhyolite it is over priced in the rough is quite soft and the plumes are much smaller than you think. Most of the material is waist so I stay away from it. I have alot of rough from Indonesia that I import like agatized coral, sagenite, moss/plume, feather jasper, rare purple chalcedony as well as the very rare type that has purple and white fortification. I have rare Texas Llanite, agates, jaspers and stuff from other places. Also have Andamooka matrix opal and more. Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

RE: Lapidary Equipment for sale, trade, wanted or just plan helpful tips May 3 2008, 7:33 PM EDT \| Post edited: May 3 2008, 7:33 PM EDT I have worked on most saws and helped a guy build them from scratch. Would need to look at to see what it takes for repairs. If you can tighten it, it might help. Two other things you will need to look at too includes: is the blade lined up correctly to the feed, and, has the blade become dished. If you do not live too far away, could come over and take a look. As far as rough, I have lots of nice Maury Mt. I dug 10-12 years ago, Graveyard plume agate, pretty much a wide variety of most. Crazy lace not too much though. Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

I have lots of rough from quite a few different places, and do trade. We can still shipped 40 pounds for $9 which works real well. Maybe we can start posting prices someplace for everyone to look at that are interested in getting rough. Some of it I have no idea what to charge. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Prized highly by the Indians for making arrows, it is a crypto crystalline variety of quartz, consisting mainly of chert or flint, jasper and chalcedony. It has the hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale which qualifies it as a suitable material for semi-precious gemstone. Colors range from pinks, purples, browns and blues.

But, I do have a 6" inland trim saw that I don't use. I bought it when I was working in Texas for three months to use in my hotel room. It's had very little use, and I don't need it because I have an 8" trim saw that I use at home. " What do you need for the 6"? can you post a pic of it or send an e-mail pic Welcome to this wiki Andy Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Most mozarkite and Ohio flint is not good top grade cabochon material. It lacks a good yield from the rough.There is some that is. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Thanks for the info on the saw. I tightend everything. The I checked the hydrolic fluid can, and it was really low and full of gunk. It has a hydrolic feed. So now I have to clean it out and replace the fluid. I've never done this before Any suggestions? How much doe you want for your Maury Mountain Moss and Graveyard Plume? thanks Joan Post reply Do you find this valuable?

I can't swing it right now but hope to be able to in a few months after these shoulders are squared away. Finally getting back to level after that paycheck foul up when they sent me back to work for a week. Next check will finally pull me ahead again a little bit. This set income below my normal earnings suck's. Sure be glad when Ican get back to work. Take Care Tom Post reply Do you find this valuable?
