- KINGSLEY NORTH -
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.

Haha! trying not to bore us! I’m watching a video about rocks in a box, you’re giving me what I asked for🙂. I was certain tumbling rocks wasn’t for me until I started watching your videos now I’ve purchased a tumbler and am working on my first batch. This video adds fuel to the fire with all those beautiful red rocks.
Good luck with that first batch! Patience is the key.
RIGHT! I love red Lake Superior rocks. Dude I just dump out my rocks ony bed and gloat over their beauty for hours!
It's amazing how one could keep looking at your rocks for a long time and still want to see the next one. They are really beautiful. And to think that they are random stones, washing up from the huge and wild great lakes!
They’re not random rocks. They are carefully selected rocks. But I understood what you meant.
I love jasper. And luckily for me here in oregon it's common and in all sorts of colors. Your red ones are very bright!
We have a large variety of red.
Great video! Love the polish job on these beautiful stones. Thanks for the mention of Great Lakes Rocks and Minerals. I started the group 8 years ago and proud of how much it has grown and all our members. Keep up the great video's and please share them to the group. 😀
Hi Chris, I don’t spend a lot of time there, but it’s a great resource when I need an identification. Thanks for starting it. I have sent a few other people there too.
Another cool box. Amazing the colors and patterns. Was fun to watch. Great video
All lovely. We are all grateful to see your work.
Ever since you opened that cabinet door and I saw all those containers of rocks and wondered what was in them you have been so kind to show us your rock world. So for boring me never. I can't wait for tuesdays to see what you show next. And that goes for all your videos.
That’s good to know. I have a lot of boxes left.
Lovely rocks indeed
Hope you are having a wonderful day. Thanks for the rock show.
Such gorgeous jasper! Wow!! So much diversity. Loved it all. Thank you!
I love the way the jasper just explodes with color...awesome !!! Thanks for sharing !!
You are welcome!
Beautiful collection!! Ill have to remember a blacklight and a magnet next trip to Lake Superior!!
Another awesome collection !!! I liked the one with the little gold specks. Thank for another weekly treat !!!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for the tips. I truly appreciated the tutorial video. Keep up the nice work and sharing your experiences and expertise with the hobby. I found great benefit in watching your videos.
Thanks for watching. I’m glad you’re finding them helpful.
These are awesome. I hope to find one of these one day!
Gorgeous rocks❤ The jasperlites would make great crosses.
4:42.. outstanding piece, all are amazing, but that one.. WOW :)
Yeah, that one is different, isn’t it?
All are nice and shiny!
Love these, so pretty. Thanks Rob.
You're welcome!
The rock at 6:09 with stripes/bands in two different directions is my favorite of this group.
Yeah, that one is pretty cool.
They are awesome so many pretty patterns too! 👍
Thank you for showing.
You're welcome!
I love jasper, and jaspelite! The variations and color combinations are almost endless. All so beautiful. Thanks for the showing.
It’s hard not to like them, especially the jaspelite.
Beautiful rock !
Jasper, one of my favorite rocks. We call it Jaspis in The Netherlands.
That's pretty close to "jasper", isn't it?
@@MichiganRocks Too close to be a coïncedence. ;)
Фантастика , великолепно .
Спасибо!
Absolutely gorgeous 👍🏼
Magnetic rocks are cool. Lost my magnet, time for another. I usually carry it as it was retractable. Some of those seem to have plumes. Gorgeous!
I carry a very small neodymium magnet in my backpack.
I’d love to see some before and after pics. It’s interesting to see the before so I know if I have picked any of this kind up before. Thanks.
Unfortunately, I can’t go back in time for pictures of these before they were tumbled, but I am now making more of an effort to get pictures of rocks before I tumble them. I can’t do it for all of them, because it is very time consuming, but I’m doing it for many of them. You might like tonight’s video if you like before and after pictures.
As always, thank you.
You're always welcome!
I never thought of polishing them before, but they are available by the.millions. those look great!
Give it a try.
JASPES perfeitos my dear. Wow
That was a good box of jaspers. Liking the patterns and the one with pyrite. I enjoy watching your videos
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. I recently bought a tumbler and just spent the day today in Grand Marais rock hunting. Didn't find anything real special but picked up a bunch just to bring home and identify them.
I was just in Grand Marais a couple weeks ago. I didn't find anything spectacular either, but I always bring home a few things to tumble. I found a piece of amethyst that was just barely purple, but it's the first time I've found any on my own.
Wonderful!!!
That's beautiful stuff. I especially like the one with the very distinct line of shiny hematite. It almost looks man-made. The little predominantly black one with red lines through it is neat too. It would make a nice piece of jewelry. Thanks for more boxed rocks! It's never boring for me. I enjoy seeing the many variations that occur in similar types of rocks.
Awesome Jasper - you are so lucky to have such a large array to chose from!
I think so too!
I love stones
Thank ou....Enjoyed .
Glad you enjoyed it.
Very interesting stripes and specks on those rocks. Some are just about the size and almost the shape to make fake eggs to trick chickens into laying. Some of them made my fingers itch to wire wrap. Hey, at least I am consistent. Lovely stones, thanks for sharing!
I didn’t realize that chickens could be tricked into laying. If you show them Easter eggs, do they lay colorful eggs?
Michigan Rocks only if they are the breed known as Easter egg era because they lay colourful shelled eggs. Yes, chickens can be tricked that way and that is the original reason for people making egged shapes out of stone. It works too!
@@LindaSmith-vq1br Well I learned something new today.
Nice haul, Rob! Just fyi, banded iron formation can have both hematite and magnetite in its composition. Also, there are some deposits called GIFs, or granular iron formations, that are found in the Great Lakes and in Western Australia. I believe you have some of these as well.
Are GIFs the ones with metal specks throughout them?
@@MichiganRocks Yes.
I am from Canada I love your videos. ...amazing rocks. ...i love your honestly too that you don't know all the rocks you have collected. ...i just started rock hounding and i must admit that I do look up to you as an avid hobbiest ...i have one question for you how do get the rocks so very shinning. ..I have been following all the steps but my rocks are still a bit dull. Please let me know the secret to getting a nice shine to my rocks. ..thanks a million. ...
For almost all of my batches I start the rocks in a rotary tumble and finish them in a vibratory tumbler. This video shows my procedure: th-cam.com/video/ksrmpPZrAuU/w-d-xo.html
Jasper gorgeous!
I liked the magnet test.
I was surprised when I found out it was magnetic.
Beautiful, as always! Now I’m hungry for cinnamon hearts.
A lot of people seem to get hungry looking at tumbled rocks. The carnelians and Apache tears are the only ones that have that effect on me.
So pretty - I liked the one with the very thin band of silver tru' it - wonder what that might be? Keep on rockin'... 👍🦘🐾😎
I’m not sure.
My favorite peice of Jasper is the one at 6:30 . I like the white part , it reminds me of a fluffy cloud.🥰
I have wondered if the white on that one is agate.
@@MichiganRocks I think I found my first agate today. I found it while sitting through some sand at my local beach. It's small and it has a few faint bands. Most of the stone is clear but the bands have a color similar to smokey quartz.
@@Indyanas_ocean_view That’s great! Congratulations!
@@MichiganRocks thank you😍🥰
I hope my batch comes out half as good as these 😃
I'm hoping to have a batch worthy of showing you...😁
I hope they turn out great too.
Ty. AMAZING I share🙏
Thanks.
São lindas,
Love jasper I find a few small pieces on the beach here in Maryland
Throw it in the tumbler!
Cool
Really love all the beautiful Jaspers.
Im from New Zealand and Jasper is my favourite to collect.
I have been following your advice on tumbling. Really like your tumbling vids.
I have a home built at the moment bit am saving for a lortone model.
Do you have a facebook rock page?
No, I don’t do much with FaceBook. I occasionally post one of my videos there or post a rock picture for identification, but not too often.
Never boring. Love the jasper with the golden specks. Thanks for sharing👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Adoro Pedras
Looking at some Lapidary equipment. And start up seems costly. Is it recommended not to buy cheap saw as I dont want to replace a year from now. Would like to start a small on the side business.
Rock tumblers are terribly expensive. If you watch Craig's List and eBay, you should be able to find a reasonably priced saw. The other option that a lot of people use it to buy a tile saw. Those can be found used also because it's common for people to buy one for a bathroom remodel and then sell it. I don't think it's easy to make money doing lapidary work unless you're really skilled at making jewelry. That requires an additional investment of other tools.
pretty cool videos my kids absolutely love rock hunting I’d like to do it more with them but we live further inland. However this Fourth of July weekend I thought about going up to Rockport park it’s about a three and a half hour drive from where we live, to walk and look for some cool rocks to tumble with them not too sure on any other places to go they just like finding rocks and putting them in their tumblers.
Rockport is better for fossils. If you walk to the north you might find some other rocks, but you'll have to walk a long way. If you do go to Rockport, be sure to go to the quarry and look around. There are also sinkholes behind the quarry, but it's at least a mile walk.
If you live in southern Michigan, you might want to stop at Harrisville State Park and also at the Sturgeon Point Lighthouse on your way up.
Michigan Rocks thanks for the advice. I’ll most definitely stop at Harrisville as well as Sturgeon point on the way up.
My kids will be excited we never really look for rocks on the lake before normally it’s just small little inland lakes that we stay at so this will be something new.
@@PrimalVarietyYTC Another place you could go is Negwegon State Park. There is only sand to the south, but if you walk far enough north, you'll find some good rocks. Check out my video where I kayak from Negwegon to South Point.
4:42, found one just like that at my local river, reminds me of a twentyonepilots symbol on the stone.
I had to look that one up. I'm old. I do see the resemblance though. You should see if a magnet sticks to it.
Michigan Rocks ah your not old, nobody can know everything imaginable out there, in fact I really respect that you actually took the time out of this comment to look that up, really shows how much you care for your fans, I did stick a magnet to it and it has a semi strong attraction, i just came across this channel and I really enjoy your content, it’s like asmr but without all the creepy whispering, just a calm relaxed dude tumbling rocks and showing his art/ long term hobby.
Have a great day man, I’ll be binge watching your vids, lol.
@@w.d.gaster692 Thanks for watching. This channel is getting bigger than I ever expected, so there might be a time when I can't respond to everyone, but I'm trying my best for the time being.
Quite lovely
I have a point stone of bloodstone used for massage
Someday you'll take us to the end and show them all i hope.
These are nice and relaxing, some individual stones evoke emotion but mostly i like watching and the end comes too soon, imo
It will be a while yet until I run out of boxes.
@@MichiganRocks
I meant the end of a box. We on this side enjoy every pebble.
Thanks
Nice stones m m gemstones
Judging by the size of your fingers, it looks like most of your finished rocks shown here are about an 1 inch long. Would you say that they were about 2 times larger before you tumbled them? The rock at 4:45 pops - love it! I've seen some people call the 'swirly' pattern of jasper and hematite (like the one in the middle of the screen at 0:20) as "Mary Ellen Jasper". Would Mary Ellen Jasper be the correct name for any of the rocks you have shown here?
Every rock tumbles for a different amount of time based on that individual rock. Most would not tumble so much that they'd lose half of their size.
I think Mary Ellen Jasper is mainly found in Minnesota. I have found things in Michigan that someone from Minnesota identified as Mary Ellen Jasper though, so I think it's possible to find it here. I'm not sure if that one you pointed out would qualify or not.
Yeee🥰🏴🏴
How do you get them so shiny?
I start them in a rotary tumbler and then finish them in a Lot-O vibratory tumbler. This video shows my whole process: th-cam.com/video/ksrmpPZrAuU/w-d-xo.html
ممكن اعرف طريقة تلميع الحصى اش اسم المادة

they make great trade beads, just a lot of work, they look nice though
What is a trade bead? I made my wife some Pandora type beads out of jasper.
@@MichiganRocks trade beads were made by both the europeans and native americans to be used in trade with each other, they were made of glass, shell, stone, bone, teeth, antler/horn,
@@yoopermann7942 Like a form of money, huh?
@@MichiganRocks yes, it was a form of money
Can you find any in the Minnesota River?
There was quite a bit of jasper in the Minnesota rivers I have hunted. th-cam.com/video/56_hVw-LP6Q/w-d-xo.html
I would like to buy one or two Lake Superior rocks ?
Send some of these to me, I'm Brazilian
After i watch your stuff I wanna run to get rocks and learn how to tumble immediately! It's pretty great!
What are you waiting for?
@@MichiganRocks 😀...middle of the night here😉🤣...but not anymore! I do grab stones/rocks already, and my eyes are scanning for unusual forms/designes...but you have got me excited and wanting to invest into tumbling. Also, because of you I'd like to look further into what kind of stones are natural/typical for my area (Staten Island). Bye, bye MR!
@@B.Mega.D If you haven’t seen them yet, go check out my videos on how to tumble. I have made a couple that are pretty in depth.
@@MichiganRocks Sincerely...thank you for sharing your time and insight. 😁😀☄🐿
Excuse me sir .Jesper precious like gem ?
Jasper is pretty common, so if you're asking if it's valuable, it's not particularly valuable. I picked these up myself and there are plenty more where they came from.
Jasper is considered a semi-precious stone. It can be made into jewelry. Here's an article where you can read more: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemstone
Envia umas dessas para mim, sou Brasileira
Bee-u-t-ful
