I know about quartz in Arkansas, but my grandparents (who are the ones who got me hooked on hounding in the first place) are insanely tight-lipped about places to go gather nice crystals in the States. I have plenty of quartz, but I'd like some other crystals. And while buying them from others is okay, I like finding them myself better. Thanks!
Took my little guy hunting for arrowheads yesterday,Field wasn't plowed and hasn't rained in a few days,so lots of flint but no arrowheads.He did find old antique squirrel figure,orange golf ball and lots of "lucky stones".I found what I swear is small (dime size) piece of host rock with 3 citrine crystals growing from it.Is this possiable in PA?

hello, my name is Jason..had no idea there was a rockhound neighborhood. Never really checked any of the neighborhoods before. Pretty sweet. Going to try and dig some rutile next weekend. Hope to find some decent crystals. Just posted some purple, pinks, and bi-color imperial topaz crystals. The rarest of the rare when it comes to topaz. Not many things excite me anymore since i have had so many different kinds of stones come though here but I check out these stones just about everyday. Trying to score some reds but very hard to find. I will be putting a bi-color up for auction maybe this weekend starting at 9.99. 10 times as rare as a purple imperial..only other location bi-colors have been found is russia and thats a very very rare occurance. talk to you later jason

Hi all - It seems like many you like to go out and find your own rocks. However, if you're interested in purchasing beach stones from the Puget Sound area of Washington state, I have some beautiful rocks listed on eBay that polish like a dream. Besides, rough beach stones, I'm selling some natural heart rocks, as well. If you're interested, please take a look.
Hello. I am starting to get into Gemstones and cutting them. I need some help, and some true rock hound advice on the best and most reasonably priced faceting machines. Also, I am wanting to try to start with a Jamb Peg. I beilive that I would enjoy it more than the typical way of faceting. If anyone can help, anything would be great. Best Regards, Holly
I am new to the hobby. In looking at lapidary machines, I came across this one...The SwapTop 6" All-In-Wonder Complete Lapidary Workshop. The All-In-Wonder can be set up as a 6" Flat Lap, a 6 1/2" Trim Saw, and/or a 1" Drum Grinder / Shaper. Each of the three machines can be set up in just minutes. Any thoughts on this machine?
