Nancy and I head back to the mouth of the Blind Sucker River to find agates and other beautiful rocks after two days of high winds. I polished a couple when I got home for some instant gratification.

Kingsley North is a lapidary store in Michigan's U.P. They make a great cab machine and sell many other brands too. They have a huge selection rough rock, tumblers, grit, jewelry supplies etc. at good prices. I buy most of my coarse grit from here in 45 lb. bags. It's the best price I have found. If you buy using the following link, I make a small commission.

You need something like an empty aquarium to see the shore bottom further out, undisturbed by waves. That would be unwieldy though - maybe a 5-foot long, 6”-wide tube with a glass bottom, and feet to rest on / poke into the bottom with. The waves would still move the rocks around, but you could see them clearly at least. Put cylindrical mesh / grating around the bottom and you could keep them from moving out of view, too, maybe.

@MichiganRocks 10 ай бұрын

I made a viewer like that out of a five gallon bucket, but I never use it. For one thing, I don't have enough hands to hold a bucket to carry rocks in, a scooper, a camera, and my plexiglass bottomed bucket. Also, if it's too rough, the bucket gets slammed around too much. If it's not rough, I don't need it. The only time it's really useful is if there are just ripples on the water. The one place it would be consistently useful is on rivers, but I rarely hunt rivers.

Glossary of "agate names": magate- maybe an agate, wagate- wannabe agate, nagate- not an agate, uglate- ugly agate. You guys found some nice ones! The horn coral was pretty cool polished up! I'd have such a hard time not bringing home about half that beach! That variolite that Nancy found was really nice and took a pretty polish!

Wild Kyle was here a week or two ago and the horn coral went home with him. I thought he'd enjoy it more that I would. I like your glossary of agate terms. I think we found all four types.

Finally! Tumble that “magate”!

I'm going to do a whole batch of magates this winter. I need to sort through my agate/magate boxes and separate the wheat from the chaff.

@@MichiganRocks , I’ll be watching out for that! Not that I have any agates to tumble myself, but I have tumbled rocks with a “rind” on them, and a bunch of flint, and I love the big reveals! Good luck with the project! I’ll be on the lookout!

There might be some red jasper in there, but it's not just red jasper.

It’s funny how everyone goes to the beach for the glass but overlook all the sweet rocks.

Lake Superior is awesome. The other four lakes are pretty great too.

That non puddingstone is going to look incredible after you tumble it. Just out of curiosity, does Nancy tumble rocks ? I'd like to see some of the rocks she tumbles if she does. I almost never pass up a nice piece of quartz & I only keep the translucent ones. The designs going through them are really cool. Those waves are frustrating when it comes to looking for rocks. Nancy has a great eye for beautiful rocks to tumble. I loved that small red & orange swirley rock

@MichiganRocks Жыл бұрын

Nancy has about zero interest in doing tumbling or any other sort of lapidary activity. She does appreciate the stuff I make though. More importantly, she allows me to make a bunch of noise in the basement.
