I have thought about rock polishing tools and such. In fact , I am almost interested in a machine to polish rocks. I had a lot of real pretty rocks when I was a kid living in Montana we accumulated from rock shops. Just what I need....another thing to collect lol
I check craigslist and came across a sphere polisher, but the guy wanted a lot for it and it's about 20 years old. We were going to work a trade, but he wanted to come to our storage and dig for a weekend.....I can't make a trip like that for a trade on something with the family....it would cost several hundred dollars between gas, hotel and food. LOL....I might as well spend the money and build one huh?

I am still taking phots of my collection (har har). I just got this Christensen Agate swirl today. It's in minty condition with as made blow holes which are pretty small. This was dug from the old site and though it's been dug up, it's not a rare color variation. Still cost $40. I am still swallowing the prices of marbles for singles, it's a bit much....but I got a good deal.
