My SECOND polished rock, now with FOSSILS! (Still using the cheapest equipment possible!)

I have polished a rock. Again.
Pray I do not polish it further.
I am an amateur Lapidarist working with a 7” Skil wet tile saw for cutting, and an $18 Harbor Freight angle grinder for grinding, shaping, smoothing, and polishing.
This bad boy was an unassuming beach rock I found on the North Shore of Long Island, but one close look and I recognized those little prehistoric fossils that have since turned to cryptocrystalline silica. So on the saw she went, and then to the grinder for some grinding, smoothing, and polishing!
Only the second rock I’ve polished this way but a vast improvement from my first by far! And now that I have an 8000 grit polishing pad, I might take her for that last extra step!
Feel free to drop me a Like or even toss me a Subscribe if you’re feeling saucy, and come follow along on my Backyard Lapidary adventures! We can learn new things and look at cool rocks together!
