Thank you for the extra tip on 'not wanting to wait the extra 8 weeks' for the tumbler and for telling us how to do it alternatively!
The way you cut your stones, so unique! Makes me want a lapidary set so bad
Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Liz
When I was 5 or 6, my family moved to a new house, and a small rock collection came with it. Me, being five, kept it outside and let the rose quartz true white in the sun. What I would give to have that collection in good quality today.
just keep it....this earth will be renewed some time.
Liz, you did fantastic job on bringing out the graceful flow of the banding and that shape is a perfect fit! Very nicely done, Thank you.
+Mike Magnum Thanks for commenting Mike. She sure is a beauty and I'll be sad to see her go. She'll be for sale on my website, opening next month. All the best, Liz
Ah ! Liz worum spreche ich kein Inglisch. .... ich will so zu dir nach Australien, ich lernen dich und dein Werk ! Das so toll , was du nachts ! Ich mag Edelsteine! Brawo Liz 👍💖👏💖
Nice display of finished stones
Amazing work. This is the first video I've seen of making gem stone smooth and nicely shaped. I wish i could have that one or find a pattern gem like it .
You "ROCK" Liz!!! A joy to see you go for this transformation. Would love to do it but I'm so afraid I'll loose my fingers. !!
Thanks for watching Nikinik. There's absolutely nothing to be afraid of. This saw blade doesn't cut into flesh. Only hard rocks, so it's safe for little fingers like mine. XD Cheers, Liz
Liz Kreate Really?. I thought you were taking a lot of risks. Glad to know it's safe. You are so skillful any way. TFS
I enjoy ALL OF your ideas, you're excellent with the craft. Also, you help me with the project I'm working on, and I just know that you will continue to help me. Keep it real!
And thank you Liz.
Greetings from California, Liz. I'm a budding rock hound and am really enjoying your vids, they are very informative. Thanks!
awesome! I pick up stones all the time that have the same potential. I'm thinking about doing this for a new hobby now. thank you for showing me how. I look forward to more videos.
We love to find pretty stones on the beach. Your video is going to cost me though because now I want to try and process some found stones to beautification. I doubt that I'll ever get close to your amazing talents though. Thanks so much for sharing.
Very helpful in seeing with my own eyes how much actual labor is involved in creating the finished stone, Thank you.
painting55 You're welcome and thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Liz
I'm looking stone at Parramatta river in Sydney and I will find amazing Ruby Red, I can't believe that,😲🤑👀👁️💕💪🎞️🎥
Thanks for your channel....
God bless you 🙏👍 and your channel workers
Good luck!
Life, it doesn't "stay" in one corner!
liz, i hope you and wal are safe and sound and away from the fires. my heart is breaking for the loss of bush and animals...
You are very inspiring and wonderful human being. I truly enjoy watching your channel from digging gems and crystals to shaping them to showing us your beautiful collection of succulents. Thank you for sharing your channel with us.
You are so welcome Javier and thanks for watching. Stay safe and healthy. Cheers, Liz

Hi! I'm trying to learn how to make Cabochons! I have a lot of stones because well.. I love them! Thank you for making this video!
OreotheAnimelover where you have got stones
Thank you for your video, very informative. Not only on what to look for creatively in the stones but also on equipment to use thank you again
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice results. I am just getting started and completed my first week of tumbling 3 days ago. Now I am looking for tools that I can shape rocks with before I put them in the tumbler.
Thanks for watching and commenting James and best of luck finding a Combination Lapidary Saw and Grinder. Cheers, Liz
gorgeous! my puppy was chewing on something, and it turned out to be a lovely rose quarts rock. i thought i'd check with youtube on how to polish it up. im a beader and a bit of a rock hound. but, after watching this, i think it'll just have to stay in its natural form. lol. you're very talented! thanks for sharing this information.
One can easily (with patience) polish a rock/gemstone without using a machine. In the next coming weeks, I'll be uploading videos on processing rocks/gems without using a machine. Thanks for watching and hope your puppy keeps bringing you more rocks/gems. Cheers, Liz
LIZ.... YOU just might be the best, but watch it, I am leaning everything from You... THANKS Perfect
Nice work done and interesting information!! So inspirational!
wow, pure skill, especially working so close to the blade! The finished project is amazing
+Ryan Forshaw Thannks Ryan and glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers, LIz
Wow nice and beautiful stones
LIZ KREATE, thank you for the tips
You are so welcome and thanks for watching.
Made in Australia, wow, I never knew us Aussies actually made anything cool. ...well' ya learn somethin every day.
I used to work for Tiffany & Co. here in the U.S. and I can tell you that a lot of our jewelry tooling and equipment had "MADE IN AUSTRALIA" labels on them. You Aussies actually make a lot of very cool things. Australia has a substantial jewelry industry and a substantial gem mining industry and related industries. One day I hope to go Rock collecting in Australia.
You are good, but man I got scared every time your finger got close to the blade
Landon Luman The type of saw blade i'm using only cuts into hard objects and won't cut into flesh, so it's quite safe. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Liz
Liz Kreate Wait say what? How does that work
Tsubaki Star I don't know if you have ever seen a bone saw (or the saws they use to cut casts off after broken bones), but this is the same principle. It doesn't actually cut the stone, it abrades it. So you are basically sanding it in half with tiny diamond (or silicon carbide). :)
Buddy Bellwether Thanks for watching and the handy info Buddy. Cheers, Liz
Landon Luman i was 7 when i started working with machines
Good morning MA'M I'm watching your video from Antique Philippines

Thanks for the comment Doc...
You're such an inspiration I love your videos so much ❤️😭
I do a lot of digging and have a large collection. I am trying to get the art of cutting and dissecting raw, smoky, milk white, amethyst, citrine and crystal. I need to watch more of your videos, Need the best list of equipment cheap to have,There seem to not be a big market for rocks. I enjoy digging, now its time to get the hook-up to sell some things and get creative, rock for dummies....
Beautiful gems.

Damg you make it look so easy. Respect
You should do Tiger’s Eye, my favorite gemstone and the first of my seven favorite gemstones. They are Tiger’s eye, Sodalite, Green Jade, Peacock Ore, Waterline agate, Pearl which is my birthstone, and Azure-malachite.
Mau-it river of Sibalom, Antique, Philippines has boulders of gemstones...
Naol
Jadeite and Jades are common there
Gorgeous stones! Thanks for sharing.
niaclassical design You're welcome and thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
very nice
I will just buy the finish product. I can't even watch how she cut the raw stone. Great job lady!
very very good
very beautiful,thanks for sharing
I find things like these at the beach all the time and there already smooth from the water
I am very interested in your stone videos.
This is fascinating to watch, but all I could think was 'Oh god I'm sticking my bare hands right next to a spinning saw blade!' Never cut stones while distracted, intoxicated, or sleep-deprived.......
I felt just the same!! Would love to do it but I'm so afraid I'll loose my fingers.
These type of saw “blades” are more like blunt metal discs with tiny diamond grit stuck to the surface, so when you bump them it’s like bumping spinning sandpaper. You would have to really get snagged or hold your finger against it on purpose to hurt yourself - It doesn’t slice you open the way a wood saw would.

Beautiful Job¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

So cool!
Thanks for watching and commenting Dawn... Cheers, Liz
Thank you! You're wonderful!
Excellent.. Thanks
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
steady hands on the lady
Gorgeous
how much would I need to pay for a stone cutter and polisher, and where would I find one? This would be a hobby for me, as I have a full-time job.
Thank you!
Cool!! Thank you great!!
Great job!!! It's beautiful!
Dear Liz,
I messaged you about fossicking before and you gave me some recommendations. We found some crystals and now we're looking to get some equipment to smooth the stones up. My partner and I are wondering if we need diamond bits/blade for processing stone, because my boyfriend recently bought a Dremel and he said that we will need the diamond bits.
Thank you so much again Liz!
+Janejira K Some of the attachments that comes with a Dremel can be use for processing stones. However, cutting and drilling holes on hard stones will require diamond coated burrs or bits. Cheers, Liz
So so beautiful! Love this
It is very good
Beautiful.
Greetings from Indonesia
Liz, how can I polish some quarts points that look foggy? Would I be better off with a tumbler? What about using a Dremel? I'm new at this.
OMG your fingers!! Aren't you worried you'll cut one off without wearing protection haha?
I don't think any manner of practical protection would keep your fingers safe from that saw blade when your fingers are that close to it...
U could wear steal chain mail on your fingers and it would still cut through it if you slipped.
Australian Active Body Care Pty Ltd haha since nobody said it yet i will. That blade only curs through very hard surfaces and would not cut flesh or cut your finger off
Zack Dela Rocha haha I'd find it very entertaining if you would post a video of your finger going up against that blade to prove how well it fares.
I'm sure theres videos of that demonstration out there in the Sea of TH-cam
I was thinking the same lol
Awesome !
Thanks for watching Leo and glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Liz
hello:)
i love it
what is the name of the machine ? please
thank you
Do you sell the stones? I could spend all day at your shop! OMGAWD! Still love this video after four years!
No, I don't.
I got my 7 yr old a Nat Geo tumbler for Christmas. Our first batch turned out all right but they are rather dull even after the final polishing phase. How can we get them to shine like the store bought she's purchased before? Thanks.
Yes I like this. Very similar to what I do!! We don't have agates here though!! Dalasite, Quarts with epidote inclusions, very nice!! and Rhodonite.
don't worry about your fingers diamond blades are not really blades at all. They are abrasive edges. So your fingers are ok but your fingernails might get A bit thin if your not careful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
beautifully
Très joli , félicitations ! 💎
I have an old table saw I don't use that I used to use to cut tiles. Think that would work
If it can cut through porcelain tiles, it can cut through most gemstones. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
Cool vid. I just started tumbling my own stones.
