I MAKE A BRACELET FROM SODALITE
I'm beginning to really like Sodalite. It's a softer rock so you have to be careful when cabbing. I love the blue color!. There's not a whole lot of blue rocks out there.

Copper, Banded Iron, New Hip Waders!!
Love the variety in each piece. Makes rock collecting even more exciting!
Well, if them ol' rocks ain't purty! Good job, son. That's one shiny agate!
Are the smaller pieces good for final stage polishing? Has anyone tried it on resin after it's been tumbled first?
Beautiful
Ric, that's fantastic!! Love it.
Thank you, I'm excited to see what I can do with it.
Very nice
Thank you!
Those are absolutely gorgeous!!!! 👍😎
Wow those are awesome pudding stones! Just gorgeous! The colors are so big and bright! And they are just loaded! Thanks for showing off your beautiful finds! Thanks Ric!❤
Wanna see it slabbed
Those are so beautiful. That person was so nice in giving those to you.
Very nice. Happy New Year!!!
Thx Johnny and a Very Happy New Year to you and your family!!
Oh my GOSH, some of those are GORGEOUS!
Hi there!! I'm also from Sault Ste. Marie. I've always loved rocks, but have never been a hardcore hounder. I most recently received a rock tumbler myself! I am a crafter at heart, so I make jewelry, wire wrap, crochet, and knit. I'm always interested in looking at pretty rocks, and getting tips for how to tumble and polish rocks. Would love to network with you and your wife for some tumbling/polishing tips. :) I mostly look for pretties around lake superior, but my aunt also lives on lake huron, so I get to hunt for pudding stones there as well. Her shoreline is near littered with them!
That's awesome, I'm sure we can help you out! Puddingstones are great for tumbling. Well, most of them. I've had a few that wouldn't tumble. I guess I should make a video with my new tumbler lol.
They make an awesome tumbler!! Congratulations 🎉
Thank you, I'm pretty excited about it!
Highland Park......love what these brothers are doing. I'm interested because like you I'm also in Ontario. Did you order directly from Highland Park or from someone in Ontario. What's the price of the one you bought with Cdn dollars and if from HP how much was shipping. I'd like to downsize and replace (sell) my Lortones and Harbour Freight tumbler. I'd like to get one of their 2x3lb units.
It was a Christmas present. We also live in a border town so we went across to the U.S. to pick it up. And it was ordered right from Highland Park
Congrats on the new and extra large tumbler 👍Oh no that cup is hand painted !! I almost ordered one. OMG that is terrible that they can get away with that !! Nice tumbler though😊
Yes buyer beware, If it's looks to good to be true, it probably is lol. Have a great week!! Happy rock hounding!!
Merry Christmas 🎉🎉
Merry Christmas to you too!!
5:57 Is that yellow a gold vein?
Geez wouldn't that be nice? Lol I believe it's just pyrite
Those look like some really cool looking rocks! Some sudomorphs , and just really interesting compilation rocks! They will be awesome cut, I'm sure! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, I'm excited to see how they turn out!
Gonna cut this batch?
Absolutely!!
Very nice!!
Thanks for the visit
That turned out awesome! Perfect stone choice. Great job! ❤👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great rocks and sound!
Super!
Supposed to be a big snow storm on the way today in Northern Ontario. Perhaps, the best rocks are a few feet out in the water and won't be brought up to the rock beach for a few years. The boat horns in the background were amusingly timed as intense suspense music to your responses. Lol- "The first snow of the season...horn blares". Very cool sun dog in the sky. Still neat to see what's inside those rocks. You never look at a rock the same way when you see them out in the wild, after cutting a few open to reveal the curiosities inside.
Quick trip out and you still managed to find something interesting! That snow is wild! That lake effect snow storm is just intense! Better you than me! 😊 Happy Holidays!
Nice! So simple yet so beautiful!
That looks like an agate to me! Congrats Penny!
Glad the Soo has a rock show!
Well that was a huge show for just one company to be putting on! And you got some screaming deals on those agates you bought! Those are really pretty and there is plenty of the agate to make several cuts to both sides! And still have the end cuts left to cab with! Awesome deals on those! The best buys in the whole show, bar none! Thanks for walking that entire show and showing it all to us ! They really did have some beautiful items there but those agate pairs were the best buys for the money! Thanks Ric and Penny! ❤
Hi Lisa, thanks for sticking through the whole thing. It was a long one but I didn't want to cut anything out
@RockAndRollRockhound I'm glad you didn't!
Its too bad that broke! Its gorgeous!💕
Hey Man I like your Style of making Videos
Hey, thanks
Those turned out just beautifully! Even with the troubles you had to begin with! The one crumbly rock looks just awesome when polished! It looks like a pine cone! And that grey rock made a beautiful cab too! And I love your dragonfly and butterfly! But you already know I love them! My dragonflies are displayed proudly on my wall! Thank you so much for them! 💕
I first thought it was some meat or a walrus' blubber 😅 that's one beautiful agate tho
Hi, thanks for the video. I’ve got a slightly different HP model, but similar set up with two bearings and wheels left and right side with polishing disk at end. I want to replace the old carborundum wheels as wheel. Am I right thinking that you have to pull the whole shaft out and remove everything from the left side to get to them? Or did you do it from the right side by taking off the polishing wheel ? Were the bearings easy to slide the shaft thru? Any tips would be appreciated. I’d like to see a quick video update on your refurbishment too. Thanks again.
Between the 1st left wheel and the rest, there's a pillow block bearing. So everything has to come off from the right side. At least that's how I did it. Best of luck on restoring your machine!!
@RockAndRollRockhound hi, thanks for the reply. I eventually did take it all off from the right. It just needes a little extra love to break a few things loose and my cut off wheel to free the screws on the polishing wheel hood and a couple on the bottom bin. But it's amazing what great shape it is in for being 50-60 years old. New wheels from the cabking Black Friday deal are waiting for me to get home and slide on. Thanks again. Tes
Congrats!!
Thank you so much for being a part of this journey!!
Congrats! 🎉 I cannot believe that it’s been four years already. Great video of the look back to when it all started. Here’s to 4 more adventure packed, rock/ gem collecting, “oh wow” years!! Hopefully I will get up your way this coming summer ( no forest fires or surgery to hold me back ). Keep well and hugs to you and Penny.
Hey great to hear from you Michelle!! It's been a long time! Hopefully you can make it up here, that would be awesome. I still have those little rocks put aside lol
The first 4 years were great so I can't wait to see what you do in the next 4 years.
Me to!! lol Thanks so much for being a part of it!!
That was an awesome video Rick . North shore of Superior rocks . Keep up the great work . 😎
Thanks so much Kevin!!
Nice agate , good job on the cut and polish , looks great , thanks
Thank You my friend!!
Beautiful piece. 🦋
Thank you! Cheers!
You know, I belong to the Sudbury Rock and Lapidary Society, and they have big chunks of it there like it's really common. I bet that's where they got it from. It's so pretty!
Hi Lee, this good to know. It's su h a beautiful rock. Can't wait to make stuff!! Lol
Lots of fossil rocks, and alot of impact melted rock from Sudbury crater. Alot of that material is in North and South Carolina from that event. Carolina bays.
Thank you for the information.
Our pleasure!
👍
Looks like the green quarzite was put there when they built the road. Gorgeous greens 💚
I think so too!
6:35, found a white agate in basalt last Friday. Best agate I've seen so far. Had no idea they had agate nodules.
Very cool, that's how we find most agates here. Usually in basalt
Im going to western UP in MI off Lake Superior for the first time this January - are you closer to MI or MN?
Near Michigan border
Nice finds
Got to love the North shore!
