Hello, my name is Drew! My entire life, as far back as I can remember I have been drawn with rocks and stones. If I had to guess a number, I would say that I have packed home at least 3000 or more geodes, nodules and other interesting specimen. I would LOVE to be able to actually make money working with stone. It would be a dream come true to me. But lapidary equipment is unimaginably expensive. A good cabbing machine to shape and polish pendants Cost anywhere from $800(junk) to 2500 brand new. Then the grinding pads are around $150 each, needing at least 8 of them. A circular type saw that I need due to the sheer size of some of my stones ranges from $5000 to $14000. then you have The wet style ban saws and the wet grinders and vibratory tables, Gem faceting machines. There is so much overhead that comes with it I fear I will never see my dream to fruition. I have never asked anyone for help. I am typically the one helping others but im I feel like this may be the only way I can reach my goals of owning some of this equipment. I appreciate you for taking the time to read my post, and thank you even more for any kind on contributions that are made. I will be forever grateful down to a dollar. If you would like to help me reach my dreams and achieve me goals, Feel free to cash app me. My tag is $drewster369. Again, thank you 🙏 for your generosity!
