Lake Superior Agates

Some of the agates I have found and polished over the last few years are shown in this short film. Some these Lake Superior agates were indeed found along the shores of Lake Superior, but in fact most of them were picked from the bottoms of gravel pits in the Duluth, Carlton, Cloquet, and Moose Lake area in NE Minnesota.
These gems were polished in a tumbler we purches many years ago, being about the size of a large one pound coffee can. Each complete cycle takes an average of seven to nine days going through all the needed grits, which we purchase up in Two Harbors, MN.
The exact locations remains secret

JackyLum read more of my description and we purchased all we needed up in Two Harbors MN. at Roberts Jewerly. If you google Agate City Two Harbors MN. should get you all the info you will need. Good luck we bought about a pound toumbler about four different grits needed and thats about all. After following the easy to follow directions on the grits all need to do is add the water and let run for each grit cycle about 7-9 days. . Hope this helps you some. Thanks

hi there, i would like to know how do you polish these stones to shine, issit you use the tumbler? if you do please reply me and guide me how to use and what sort of material that i need, i am a hobby too like you do, but i can't stand seeing these stones in raw and unpolished stat, urgent ya

i wish we traded things like this instead of money

[@drail80s]

@paintballerl1995 Try looking for agates in the gravel pits Im sure you wont be dissappointed that is where some of the best are found. Im not sure how or who could polish for you but if you plan to look for agates on regular basis Id recommend buying a polisher yourself maybe a pound size would be nice, and all the grits needed. Try google Agate City Two Harbors they may be able to assist you Good luck have fun

people these agates are priced big weight, bright color, and number of rings.............people ive had tese agates as big as 5-9lbs and realy nice...im a collecter..

[@drail80s]

Twinsfan28, no I havent tried face polishing but havent even seen it polished except in store front windows or at shops that sell agates and stuff. LOL Thanks

[@pivotnoob236]

ok i live in duluth so i know my agats...one if you find big ones its best you dont polish them becuz they sell better to jewlers for more custom jewelry,next if you want them naturaly polished then go to a rocky lake preferably lake superior in secluded areas cuz some areas are picked dry by tuorists, and one when i was young my dad had a 20lb one but he kept for some reason.
