  • A quick look at how to polish your favourite agates and other beautiful rocks collected from rockhounding. See how I polish my rocks from agates to Rhyolite, Amygdaloidal basalt and waterline agates, and how each becomes even more of a treasure after polishing.
    Tools used:
    •Variable speed Rotary Sander (purchased at any good hardware store).
    •Diamond Polishing Pads and accessories (purchased on eBay)

    I love that you brought them back to the creek to show them in their new glory! I'll bet next time you hound that area, there'll be agates jumping out at you saying, "pick me! I want a polish too!"

    I get a kick out of the galaxy stone. They are all so beautiful, the lines in the agates.

    You are an artist! You see beauty exactly where most would think of as imperfections.

    I am also polishing rocks with those pads, but I use a dril in a stand so it is stadier. And i built a structure whit a watering system and a water collection container. So I have no dust at all and I stay clean and dry. I love you see doing it. I got a special polishing pad fore the last stage from a oficial polishing shop. Love the fact you find your own rocks and polish. I don't have that possibility unfortunately. Because there is nothing to find in my country. My profile picture is at that gem shop I got the polishing pad.

    I loved all your polished beauties! But that rhyolite is out of this world!!! I was thinking it looked like Van Goh !! All your hard work really paid off! Isn’t it great that with a little work you have your stones finished in a couple of days...not a month hovering over the tumbler...not that I hover lmao!!
