7 nice ones from my last batch. Which one is your favorite? #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #rocktumbling
This pretty free form cab of crazy lace is off to its new home. Fortification banding is not common with this material and I love that center pocket. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #gemstonejewelry #naturalgemstonejewelry
Nice slab o’ polished mookaite from my latest batch. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #polishedslabs
Owyhee picture jasper cab I made out of a very thin slab from a 1970’s collection I purchased a couple of years back. This one looks “far out” as they would say back in the day! #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #gemstonejewelry #jewelry #naturalgemstonejewelry
Small smattering of some “offline” inventory I will hopefully be using for events sometime in the future. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #gemstonejewelry #jewelry #naturalgemstonejewelry
Nice color saturation in this amethyst piece. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #gemstonejewelry #jewelry #naturalgemstonejewelry
Heading into round 3 of pre polish. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #rocktumbling
Small collection of polished petrified wood I collected in central Texas available now on the website. #bluewizardrocks #petrifiedwood #polishedrocks
This serpentine polished up brilliantly! I love the black flecks of manganese in this stone. I am not sure of its source but I am guessing California. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #gemstonejewelry #jewelry #naturalgemstonejewelry
Trancas geodes are not uncommon. What is uncommon about this specimen is size (nodule weight 4lbs), beautiful amethyst core, and parallax banding on the outer rim. This polished wonderfully and is available on bluewizardrocks.com #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #amethystgeode
Catching up on some cutting. This pretty moss agate was from the claims of Az Rockhound Expeditions This will make some beautiful cabs! #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #gemstonejewelry #rockslabs
I LOVE Laguna agate. Most of the agates I have run across and played with have many fractures. This one is gorgeous!
Laguna agate's banding forms under cyclic silica-rich fluid infiltration into rhyolite voids. Each color shift = a distinct deposition event. This piece shows tight, even fortification — a sign of stable, slow growth. 🪨

Red aventurine is a form of translucent quartz or quartzite famous for its shimmering or glistening effect, known as aventurescence. This unique sparkle is caused by tiny, plate-like mineral inclusions (such as mica, fuchsite, or hematite). #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #gemstonejewelry #cabochon
Trancas geode packed with amethyst that I am attempting to polish on the vibra lap. Still some marker spots remaining that will have to be ground away before proceeding. I am hoping for a genuine beauty. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #trancasgeode #amethyst #facepolish

Morado agate/opal cab I finished last night. Love the purple in this material! #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #gemstonejewelry #cabochon #jewelry
Some chrysocolla I cut last night after cleaning. Looks like some fun stuff to play with. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #gemstonejewelry #cabochon #jewelry
Some Morado “agate”/opal from Jalisco, Mexico. So far it seems a little porous but we shall see how well it polishes soon! #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #gemstonejewelry
Sonora Sunrise: Red cuprite, blue-green chrysocolla and streaks of black tenorite. Just made this one after selling the 3 I had listed on the website. Really pretty stuff! #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #gemstonejewelry #jewelry #cabochon
Large Laguna Lace agate tumbled and polished over many months in my 12lb Lortone rotary tumbler. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #rocktumbling #rockspecimensforsale
Brazos River banded chert polished in a Lortone 12lb tumbler. I found these 2 pieces fairly close to each other and I am pretty sure they are part of the same larger rock. The black/dark bluish banding is so cool. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #rocktumbling #chert
Hodgepodge of new items listed on the website. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #gemstonejewelry #cabochon #facepolish
First time working with Mexican Spurrite. On the soft side, but man, deep, deep purple! I like how this cab came out. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #gemstonejewelry #jewelry #cabochon
Blue Star Thunderegg face polished on the vibra lap. The botryoidal blue druzy in these halves are stunning. Stay till the end to see what it looks like under UV short wave light. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #thunderegg #facepolish
West Texas “Crayola Agate” only found in one spot on one ranch. Looks like a purplish red Jupiter. I have 3 cabs of the agate on the website currently at a 10% discount.
Cutting up some fractured serpentine…Love the glorious green and there is plenty of unfractured material to play with! #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #serpentine #gemstonejewelry
Lilac fluorite also known as as Yttrium fluorite. I really like this soft material and the varying shades of lavender glow in the sunlight. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #gemstonejewelry #cabochon #jewelry
