How to Turn a Rock into a Beautiful Necklace

This video shows you how to turn a rock into a beautiful necklace! I make everything on this channel from rocks. I used a piece of travertine collected from one of my favorite rock hunting spot. The magnesium with in the calcite creates a dirty brown and bright red color that contrasts beautifully due to the growth texture of the rock. I hope you enjoy this simple jewelry making video.

This should have waaaaaaay more views than it does! So amazing!

[@augustacorns]

I love natural stones and I love that the pendants you made didn't have any wire or metal around the stone. Awesome video.

[@carolannmacarthur759]

I would like to hear some more commentary about what you are using and doing as well as the video. Very nice result on the rocks.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Man seriously really well made video and the rocks are rad as well dude! This is really really cool!

[@naturalstones4529]

Thanks!!! I like your content as well. Thanks for watching.

[@superhandymanservice9413]

Maybe someone else mentioned it, but the milky substance comes from not giving the stones a proper cleaning. I normally do a cleaning cycle between each grit change and I don't let the stones dry at all until the final cleaning is done. . . Nice video though. . It gives me some good ideas.

[@bigmommah21]

Listen, I came here for the rocks. I stayed for that cute ass smile in the beginning. It was adorable.

[@MrKayy4]

its all fun and games until you get to the part where you have to buy a saw to cut the stones

[@NoJusticeNoPeace]

Might want to learn how to do wire-wrapping.

[@seorwulf1049]

What did you use to keep the wire in the drill hole? Epoxy?

[@Lady_of_Ishpeming]

Would like to know more on your process and what you are doing. It would be a great help for those just getting started. Tyfs

[@666hobart]

Nice rocks just wondering what the coating is and why? You should be able to tumble those to a really nice luster.

[@naturalstones4529]

This particular rock is made of calcite so the hardness is really low. Polishing soft rocks is extremely difficult because the grit leaves too many scratches. I coated it with epoxy you would use to put on a countertop.

[@nanaynijuan]

Can I ask about the machines that you use for it? Bcoz I am a stone collector I am planning to make it jewelry and else. Can you give an idea about what chemicals that mix?

[@tarahenley9942]

Do you have an online store? :)

[@naturalstones4529]

Yes we do! www.shopnaturalstones.com

[@maddog9625]

I just love your videos 😍

[@bradbailey5807]

Lots of fractures in the finished stones. Perhaps a review of Michigan Rocks' tumbling video might help that. Regards

[@innerdinosaur2757]

Thank you

[@theartisancompany]

[@cactusmann5542]

calcite though...

[@shoshannafachima1306]

your work is beautiful

[@sergeboivin566]

what is the machine / bath at 3:50? Beautiful rocks !

[@naturalstones4529]

It is a sonic bath to get rid of and of the polish left over in the final stage of tumbling.

[@sergeboivin566]

@@naturalstones4529 cool, thanks! I run my stones through my tumbler with some Borax for a day between stages to clean the grit and polish.

[@naturalstones4529]

@@sergeboivin566 How much? Do you add water?

[@JL-zm5zs]

I also run my rocks through a borax wash. Same parts as the grit. I only run mine for a day in the borax and use mineral water. Gives a great polished shine. Great work and video.
