- I just can't get enough of the transition from rough to polished. This one took 36 minutes to polish, but would have probably been only half that if I hadn't been filming it.

Kingsley North is a lapidary store in Michigan's U.P. They make a great cab machine and sell many other brands too. They have a huge selection rough rock, tumblers, grit, jewelry supplies etc. at good prices. I buy most of my coarse grit from here in 45 lb. bags. It's the best price I have found. If you buy using the following link, I make a small commission.

Top 5 Questions and Answers:
What is it? How was it formed?
Answer: It's a Petoskey stone, which is a fossilized coral. It's also Michigan's state stone.
I think it looks like a turtle! (Not really a question, I know.)
Answer: The pattern on it really does look similar to a turtle shell, which is why I make these little guys: th-cam.com/users/shorts2MVTZq0DQew
Why didn't you tumble it?
Answer: Because Petoskey stones are really soft compared to a lot of other rocks. That makes them difficult, but not impossible to tumble. They almost alway look better done the way I did the one in this video.
Why didn't you skip the first wheel or two? The rock got a lot smaller.
Answer: It had three holes about 1/8 inch deep and also a concave part that the wheels couldn't get into. I decided to remove those by grinding them out. In other areas, I didn't grind too much off.
What's that grinding machine you're using? Where can I get one?
Answer: It's called a cab machine. Mine is from Kingsley North. You can find a link to it in the description of this video.
Thank you so much!
Lake Huron has some nice rocks(stone) without grinding or tumbling.
Thanks so much for the info! I was wondering several of these questions!
Question you appear to have missed, where are your gloves while using this machine? You'll regret it eventually that you didn't protect yourself
So helpful that you include this, thanks!
Here I am 44 years old, amazed and learning about rocks on youtube at 11:30 pm, hope this is not a bad sign.
If you have a look around you might even have a lapidary club nearby, I used to polish stones when I was a kid. It's a pretty fun hobby.
You are ok 👌 could be worse 😅God bless you ✝️🙏👆😇🙌✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️🙌🙌🙌
Me too, only I am pushing 80 and the time is 43 min past midnight.
I’m 47 and disabled wishing I could be doing what this man is doing. So, no. You’re good. We get it where we get it.
@@user-fw2kl7it6z where in the world is it almost 1am right now? Lol it's about 11am for me. (mid North West USA) It's fascinating to me how many of us are experiencing such different parts of our days at the same time... At different times. 😋
When you're a kid, even if you are told of time zones, you still default to imagining everyone is experiencing what you are.
Anywho, hope you get the best sleep! And have an amazing day when you wake up 😊
And For the sake of keeping with the trend. I'm 33 years old, happily watching a video about rocks, at 11am. And nothin is wrong with this ol gals noggin. Lol
“After the first wheel…if anything it looks worse. But, it will get better.” Needed a reminder like this. Thank you.
Ha ha!
💛
same thing with hazy headlights. the process looks like hell at first but as you move through the sandings you'll see that they clear up like new and you can see the light again.
Same with my life. Hanging in there! 💪
live life emotionally!!!! let it guide you.
Michigan native here. It warms my heart to see so many people fascinated by these stones.
It's hard not to love a good Petoskey stone.
Co to za kamień?
Same lol
Same!
It's quite beautiful. I do hope to come to MI and look for some yooperlites someday also.
Hey, my grandma gave me one of these when I was a kid!! I totally forgot what it was called and I never really thought much about it, but I've kept it my entire life. Im 43 now and I still have it! I kept it through childhood, going away to college, moving around and traveling the country, getting married and moving houses several times.
I'm happy to finally know what it is and now I understand why she thought it was so cool! ❤
That's awesome. Grandma knows her rocks!
Yeah and💖 Grandma Rocks !!!❤
Now you’re old. So am I congratulations

I can never escape this comment 😂
Never did I think I would be watching a vid about polishing rocks but this was fascinating ❤
Surprise! Rocks are pretty interesting.
I’ve never seen a stone like this before. it’s very beautiful and the fact that you polished it really brought out its beauty.
They are popular in Michigan. I think everyone love Petoskey stones here.
@@MichiganRocks- Are they located anywhere else? (I mean more than just a rare one here or there) Or just Michigan. I live on south Texas coast & have never really seen one before. But now I want to start looking.
@@kath0000 I always thought they were just found in Michigan and a couple surrounding states, but people keep sending me messages that they find them in many states. Of course, there are no pictures with those messages, so I can't tell if they're really the same kind of rock or not. I have never heard of any found in Texas.
I love that even when we grow up, collecting rocks never becomes old.
Right! It's tough to outgrow rocks.
How much do you sell them for?
В душе каждого взрослого живёт ребенок😊
@@LaoSoftware I don't usually sell them.
Aw. I really would love to own one
I am now 85 and I always have been a rockhound. I love rocks. My husband was a construction guy and wherever we go. I’d find rocks and bring them back home. That rock is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have a problem with always looking down. I have to remind myself to look up once in awhile.
@@MichiganRocks how much are these stones?
Props for using the internet at your age! Glad you learned and can witness others' videos

To know that rock was once a living organism 100s of thousands of years ago is just mind blowing to me! Beautiful work!
Most scientist say about 360 million years ago. I agree that's mind blowing.
What ? How were they alive? 👀
@@farahamin9670 It's fossilized coral.
Hell yeah! Petoskey stone are beautiful. Lived in Michigan all my life. Love finding those rocks!
where can you find them? do you have to go to the great lakes im assuming?
Lovely! These are fossil corals - an extinct group called Rugosa. The striations around each corallite are the septa (walls) - one of the characteristic features to distinguish it against the other extinct group - the tabulates (Tabulata).
Thank you
Thanks!
Kinds almost look like dendrophyllia or sun coral ancient ancestors.
@@BriansAquariums you’re quite right. Sun corals belong to the only extant (living) group of corals - Scleractinia. Rugose corals can be said to be distant/extinct counterparts of some of the modern day groups.
You sure did take a lot off of that

It genuinely brings me joy to see your videos get a bunch of views Rob. You put so much time & effort into everything, & your passion is contagious. Love to see it brother!
Thanks. It brought me some joy too!
What a beautiful rock!🩷
I would stare at this rock for days and never get bored.
It's amazing
It's mesmerizing!!!
I love collecting rocks! I’m 65 yrs old! I’m like a kid when I see a pretty stone!
it's MINERALS MARIE!
Re: gladtidings4all: Ditto!!❤

I just made the same comment!! Also 65. (Kindred souls) 😁
My great uncle had a polishing wheel. He collected stones from all over the Midwest. I now have those stones, and I cherish them.
What an awesome piece.
Sometimes when ur life is on the rocks all it takes is one person to pick you up and polish you up.. at first it will look worse , but keep working it will get better...and after a while you will be a gem!! Remember that when someone is down,pick them up and show them how beautiful they can be!!
You sound like a chill realist!! I have had personal experiences where I was the beat up stone. Stay chill ❤❤😊
🦾👑🦾❤️🔥🙏🏾❤️🔥🦾✝️🦾🙌🏾❤️🔥🙌🏾❤️🔥🙌🏾
Thanks for that ❤
What a beautiful analogy! I think most people can identify with that thought. Thank you for reminding us to reach out to others and help their beauty shine through.
i love it!! good one
Never heard of these stones and was amazed by the end product, it's gorgeous.
The Petoskey stone is our state stone.
Oh neat!
It is fossilized coral. That's why it has such a unique design.
@@MichiganRocks What happened to them to take on this unique pattern? Is it from many stones fused together over the years? Regardless, very nice looking stone.
@danyf3116. I wanted to know too, so I googled it. Looks like they are pieces of coral reef carried and shaped by glaciers, hundreds of millions of years ago. There is a whole wiki page on them if you want to check it out! So cool!
I feel this is the channel Hank would watch

I'm in my 60s. We used to go camping on the UP in MI. One of my favorite memories is going to Petoskey to look for petoskey stones. I wanted to be a geologist at the time. I had a huge collection of agates and a few other stones and fossils. This find reminded me of a wonderful time.
Lots of people who have moved away from the state love my beach rock hunts. I get a lot of comments like yours. I love that I can bring back memories for people like that.
im 103 this is dope
Nothing like a yooper getaway, eh?
I grew up in Lansing. Well, halfway; I was 12 when we moved to the South. Every year, my mother’s side of the family had an annual family reunion camp trip. She and her siblings took turns choosing the place in Michigan we’d go.
I fondly remember one year in particular, being in a canoe with my aunts and stopping to look for petosky stones. I found a couple, but have no idea what happened to them, and I was so bummed as a kid. This was a nice reminder of simpler times.
@@ahe79 Canoe trips are usually a fun time, especially with family.
I’m 72 and never ever seen anything like this 💗💗💗💗 it’s beautiful 💗💗💗💗
I drove through Petoskey and even stayed at a motel there. A month later I was reading a book about fossils and found out about Petoskey stones, but haven't been back since.
@@gaoxiaen1 once you've been to Petoskey Michigan, a return trip is usually planned on there!😁 Doug
Wyd u up?
Now I want a rock polishing setup
It just goes to show how much work nature had to do to get it to look like that naturally!
Es muy bella en la naturaleza
I've met 2 rock people in my life. They were both very interesting people with very calm, soothing demeanors.
I don't think I'd describe myself as calm or soothing.
@@MichiganRockscalm down bro
@@MichiganRocks living in the UP is a relaxed pace of life compared to living in the city. Doug
350 million year old coral reef it's absolutely incredible and the mind can hardly imagine how long 350 million years truly is. This was around before the dinosaurs. Incredible!
I just know it's a long time. Trying to understand that long is difficult or maybe impossible.
Think about 350 trillion years
Imagine dinosaurs are described in the book of job chapter 40 and their tracks are found alongside humans in Glen Rose, TX. Then fleshy tissue found in Tyrannosaurus Rex just a few years ago. Amazing after being taught these went extinct millions of years ago.
@randallrichnow6648 the footsteps alongside dinosaur tracks was man made. The Book of Job has many different translations, but there were never dinosaurs among the humans
@@dude12311 Behemoth and Leviathan. Everything, even people were bigger back then
I got a Petoskey stone in a shop in Petoskey in the 1960's. Still have it.
That's good. They don't go bad with age.
Nothing more beautiful than nature
I was born in and lived in Michigan for 99% of my life (just moved away last year). Growing up, my sister had softball tournaments in Petoskey and every time, we’d go searching for petoskey stones after she was done with her games. I’ve always found the stones very cool to look at, and idk if other Michiganders feel this way, but it’s neat to have this kind of stone that’s unique to our state :)
I sure feel that way and I know a lot of other Michiganders do too.
Really neat.
We used to visit and walk the northern shores of Michigan along Lake Michigan and find these on each trip. I grew up in Holland and we didn't did them along the southern shores. I still have a few of them with me where I live in South Carolina.
Petoskey stones and green stones - Michigan magic!
I live in lower mid Michigan and have dug about three or four feet in my back yard and found fossilized coral.(not the stone). The whole area from Saginaw down to Flint and east was an ancient lake and there's coral e everywhere
I never saw anyone do this before. I'm 57 years old. I'm from CT, but lived in Michigan for a year. I loved it so much, but my teen daughter hated it, so we came back to CT. I never saw this stone before. I also never knew how stones were made to shine or even scouted. I pick up stones all the time. I got so excited watching this. Thank you so much for sharing. I know you are probably thinking I must have a very boring life if this excites me, but really, you never know what interests you if you don't know anything about the process! God bless you and thanks again!!!🙏😊🌞
Why would I think that? I spend most of my time making videos about rock hunting and polishing. I find this to be really exciting and relaxing at the same time. It's a great hobby. If you're interested in getting into it more, I have lots of videos to help you along the way. My shorts are more for entertainment, but some of my long form videos are more educational.
Where’d you move to in Michigan?
I live in CT also an I hate it... But I would never move to Michigan.
Hard to find nice Petoskey Stones like that today on public beaches of the Great Lakes. But visited a cousin recently on Torch Lake where you could still pick them up by the bucketful.
@@klompsauceLivonia
This feels like a humbler version of How It’s Made. I love how simply genuine this feels just seeing someone enjoying something rather than hating on something online.
Yet there are enough people who hate this. Some people seem to get upset about just about anything.
That was absolutely amazing😮
Love Petoskey stones. Such fond memories of crawling on my knees for hours searching for them. We now have Petoskey knobs we made for some of our drawer pulls. ❤️ Thanks for sharing. It's a beauty
I made drawer pulls for my niece, but she wanted granite.
That was a great idea for pull handles on your cabinets. I bet it looks awesome.
That sounds fantabulous!
Beautiful, coral fossil! Who knew?😮
I have never heard of these before. They are absolutely beautiful. I bought my son a rock tumbler for Christmas when he was young, and he used that thing for so long. He loved it, and he is still fascinated by rocks. O think he would love one of these!
That's how I got into this hobby. We bought a tumbler for him when he was about 11 or 12. He lost interest after a few years, but I did not.
@@MichiganRocksit’s like getting them animals then they go off to college & the animals stay😂
@@MichiganRocksIt's like buying a PlayStation 4 and it belongs to Momma now.
may he rest in peace
When I was a kid we went to Petoskey while on vacation in upper Michigan. There was a stone breakwater somewhere and the petoskey stones were everywhere. I love them.
If you are on the right beach, you'll find lots of them.
I'm a 60 year old man and have never seen anything like that and it turned out gorgeous when you got done.

Welcome to one of the special joys of Michigan life ED! Doug😁
My mom's favorite. Thank you for bringing her back to me if only for a moment.
That's a nice way to remember her.
I grew up in Michigan searching for Petoskey stones and I haven't seen one in the wild for years. So glad to see you share this!
There are still plenty out there if you get away from the crowds.
Honestly I'm not into stones at all just got this recommended, but it's always nice to see a professional who can already see the end result when looking at a raw material.
You knew that it was going to look good before you even started and that shows that you're confident and skilled at what you do.
Thanks. It's just a matter of polishing a lot of these, good and bad. Eventually I learned the difference, at least most of the time.
My childhood was spent in Michigan. Petoskey stones are treasures.
They sure are fun to find and shine up.
So what are they made of, is it coral?
@@thebee8415 It's a fossilized coral. The rock is limestone.
@@MichiganRocks Thanks so much for that info.
@@MichiganRockscould you explain the process and all different (sanding/polishing) wheels used 🙏👌👍😊
It's simply amazing. You have a fantastic eye for finding the best of the best rocks.
When I started out, I brought them all home. It doesn't take long to develop an eye when you waste a lot of time polishing bad ones.
@@MichiganRocks Kinda learn as you go 😃
@@MichiganRockshow much would you sell this for?
@@PennYankeeWoodworks I'll probably give this to my daughter. I don't sell many rocks.
Practice make perfect and experience is the best teacher
My child self would love the smoothness of that rock
As a kid I collected rocks and as an adult rediscovered the joy and beauty of rocks.
I think that happens fairly often.
I am 200 years old watching this video. Amazing to see where we have come.

Just moved to Michigan a couple years ago. Looking forward to the day I can take my kids to find our very own petoskey stones!
Good luck! You'll have a good time on the beach whether you find any or not.
You can find them allover.. I wish you lots of luck and welcome to michigan, neighbor ❤
Northern Michigan is where you found these stones. The river up here has thousands .
@@MichiganRocks wow that’s awesome it’s really pretty
@@MichiganRocksjust wanted to directly tell you this was amazing.

I loved going to Lake Michigan to look for Petoskey stones when I was young
This presentation made me cry. My late father was born in Detroit. He and his buddies swam the lakes so many times. He started me on rock collecting when I was very young. We never were able to hunt in Michigan, but we gathered plenty in Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. He would have loved this. You truly brought out the beauty of your patawsky stone. Just a masterpiece! Can you imagine a heart shaped one? Loving your talent in Oklahoma, Barb. Thanks for reminding me of my dad and our love of rocks and minerals and each other.
Those are some nice memories of your dad. As for the heart shaped Petoskey stone, I don't have to imagine it, I've made them. th-cam.com/video/Phvz5Rbe4ys/w-d-xo.html

Hello from Oklahoma native!
What part?@@anitablades6033
Sometimes I get a little FOMO and lament that I've never really fostered a hobby, but then i am reminded how amazing it is we have the technology to experience virtually such an unending variety of interesting things out in the world.
It is cool how we can sort of sample a bunch of things through the Internet. I do enjoy actually doing something myself sometimes, though.
It’s never too late to pick up a new hobby either. If you see something that you feel you could truly enjoy and you have the ability, try it out!!
beautifully said 👏👏 absolutely agree!
Well said. We criticise and take many things for granted, but when all is said and done, we are massively privileged to have access to such technology
Man, this was the realist comment I think I've ever read in my life. That was deep my guy. Thank you for that.
A finely fashioned work of art surely necessitates an artist.
That is gorgeous! I don't think I've ever seen a rock like that! So beautiful!
**AMAZING**
I have never seen a stone like that....
I am 65 yrs. old & still learning things !!!
😁
This polishing made me think, that we polish ourselves in many different ways (wheels) so at the end, each one of us have the chance to shine only if we keep polshing ourselves with the correct decisions 😉
By the way you're work is amazing, this is the most beautiful stone I've ever seen.
Your comment should have thousands of upvotes! A nice blend of humility and wisdom.
Brilliant analogy from a true philosopher!
Brava, 1pearl.6!!
I love how humans find old animals and find new ways to love them ❤
I love Michigan rocks. Our porch railing is lined with rocks from the beach near my Grandpa’s house that the family has collected over the years.
Sounds like a nice railing!
I grew up in Michigan. We used to find these along Lake Michigan. What a great rock!
I've never heard of a potatovsky stone. But they're beautiful.
Petoskey Stones are among my favorite rocks. They're fairly common around here, but I don't get tired of them.
Completely new to me too. Any idea how they're formed?
@@allosaurusfragilis7782 they are coral fossils
@@allosaurusfragilis7782 they are fossilised coral!
Petoskey Stones are simply fossilized coral from when the land mass of Michigan was still an ocean. As land moved and separated the coral obviously died. Out of climate. Ice ages. But that’s the jist. Fossilized coral. Don’t put them in tumblers though as they will just disintegrate. Do it like seen here.
I've seen this before but it's so cool I watched again. Great find!
That’s probably the coolest rock I’ve ever seen
I. Want. The rock, the wheel, the lake to search in, everything!
Me Too!

Great memories!
Wow! Nature´s beauty is amazing!
Yes - I've seen these stones numerous times. This is a great one!
As a native Michigander, Petosky stones have always been a great find for me when id go up north, or, to the UP(upper peninsula). A resident of the upper peninsula is known as a "youper"! I have numerous relatives still living there. Doug👍🐻🦅🇺🇸🎉😁
I love the U.P.
@@MichiganRocks the UP is an awesome place, where you can escape the craziness of city life, and, feel as though you're in a whole different state. Best place I know is the UP! UP rocks! Doug🎉🦅🤓😎😇
An hour into your channel and I’m realizing that I love what you do more than I would have ever known had I never seen your videos. What craftsmanship and also, therapeutic.
There's a reason this is a popular hobby. It gets you outside and then there's stuff to do when you get home too. It's all pretty relaxing.
Those are beautiful! Ive never even seen a rock like this before.
Thanks for making the world aware of these stones. All I had was one of those rock tumblers from the Early 80s
I wish I had had a rock tumbler in the early 80's. I think I would have liked that.
48 years old and I learned something new today.
Trust the process!!! It’s gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing!
Yep- you just proved it- all of nature is an undiscovered gem “stone”.
THAT IS THE COOLEST THING I EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!
It’s a big thing for a lot of families in Michigan to go to the beaches in petosky and collect these. I have my whole life with my family it’s fun
WOW . I couldn’t believe the final result. Incredibly amazingly beautiful
This is why nature is beautiful than any other .
That natural stone is different and beautiful
Just wow! So very pretty and cool.

I miss Michigan all the beautiful lakes and streams add hunting for Petoskey stones in beautiful Petoskey and the surrounding areas . ❤
I have lots of fond memories when I lived in Michigan as a child going to Petosky Michigan to hunt petosky stones ❤️
My classmates and I were given these as gifts by the city of Alpena when we went up there for an Archeological field school. Still have it on my shelf! Cool fossil and great video!
That's a great keepsake from Alpena. I live in Alpena. Lots of fossils in this area.
I live In Michigan and love searching for Petoskey stones in the Lakes ❤
I hadn't heard of Petoskey stone until I vacationed in Harbor Springs 22 years ago. Your stone is one of the prettiest I've seen. Just beautiful.
Harbor Springs is a really pretty town. I love those giant cottages on the lake there.
This reminds me of my journey through life, sometimes I don’t recognize the polishing I’ve been doing and sometimes it looks worse but in the end it really shows.
So beautiful, another Michigan treasure !!💎🪙
I kinda understand Ross now, that’s so cool! This the type of things they should do for kids, get them interested in different fields, and then specialize them in those fields
There was an old abandoned gravel pit west of Higgins lake. Park rangers took us there first.
Then we went a few years after.
Lots of Petoskey stones.
I wish I could remember where that pit was.
I was just a little kid then.
I might have to go on a treasure hunt!
Higgins Lake in Oregon?
@@badmoon7549 I assume he's talking about Higgins Lake in Michigan. It's a pretty big lake that would have Petoskey Stones nearby.

Our Petoskey hunts gave him the rock bug.
