My dad's rock collection included rocks that he found on or in the ground. It also included kinds of rocks that he would buy whole at a rock show and then would cut them into with his rock cutting saw. I can still hear the sound of the saw blade screeching as it cut through stone. The polishing process is the same as if you were to polish a metal, starting with a rough grade of sanding material and working down to a final polishing with a leather pad and rouge.

Wow ! My hubby like this kind of rocks.
Interesting. I often wondered how my 'rocks' got so shiny.
These are beautiful, Larry.
Wishing you and your wife a nice day. Hi to Barney and Button.
