About us......

After retirement I started doing craft shows with my art photography for a number of years. I have been a rock hound all my life, and always wanted to collect, cut, shape and polish gem stones. I started out with very basic equipment then acquired a better used saw and small cabbing machine. Then as I did more and more, I was quite hooked on cutting and polishing stones.
From there I found more and larger cabbing machines, saws and more rough stones to cut and polish. Most of the equipment was older and in need of repairs, that started a new thing, rebuilding used lapidary equipment. I now am rebuilding equipment for anyone who has a need for that service. It also led to designing and building my own custom cabbing equipment.
The craft show displays of photography with stones evolved to displaying the gemstones and some photography. Now most of our shows consist of Connie's (my wife’s) hand-made jewelry of Dichroic glass, and my handmade gemstone jewelry, cabs etc. We are now carrying a line of Perfect DIAMOND wheels and laps at affordable prices. Soft diamond wheels and saw blades are coming soon.
Thank you,
