  New Zealand agates are a speciality. I also have some here for sale.
• I enjoy collecting Petrified Wood from New Zealand and around the world

Recently I have tried using dry polishing in my vibrating lap.  It works really well with tin oxide on synthetic carpet.  It is much faster and cleaner.  Care must be taken to cover the rocks to ensure the tin oxide does not blow around into the rest of the workshop.
