Blue Wizard Rocks

Lapidary artist, lover of nature, history, Tolkien and ancient coins.
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
I love this petrified sycamore I picked up in Washington state. So different from the Texas material.
Central Texas petrified wood before and after polishing. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #rockhound #rockhounding #rocktumbling
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
Large rock tumble time! Using the new barrel for my 12lb Lortone to polish these guys. Just out of 2 weeks of 1000ao and going into polish for another 2 weeks. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #rocktumbling
I think I am going to like working with this lilac fluorite (yttrium). #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #gemstone #gemstonejewelry
Working blue quartz is quite different than the agate/jasper pieces I regularly work on. A little softer and harder to polish. I think this is a gob smacking good piece though! #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #cabochon #jewelry #bluequartz
I have a couple of pounds of peanut obsidian from near Sonora, Mexico. Very brittle material I tried stabilizing. Here is a little freeform cab I made from it. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #obsidian #cabochon
I think this was one of the Trancas geodes I picked up in El Paso. Not much of a geode. I think the pink material may be opal. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #geode #geodes
Dark and beautiful AZ moss agate cab I made from the claims of my friends @Az Rockhound Expeditions #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #jewelry #cabochon #mossagate
Crazy lace agate adjustable bracelet. Love the patterns and colors in this one! #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #jewelry #bracelet #crazylace
Loving these Moroccan potato geodes…This should polish up swell. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #geode #geodes #crystals
Flor de Durazno agate cab came out sweetly! #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #cabochon #jewelry
Playing around with some Brazilian amethyst. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #cabochon #jewelry #amethyst
I picked up some blue quartz when I was in El Paso and finally got around to slabbing some. This material has a nice darker blue speckling. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #cabochon #jewelry #bluequartz
7 nice ones from my latest batch o’ tumbles. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #rocktumbling
Large Moroccan potato geode I cut and face polished. Crystal goodness! #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #geode #geodes #crystals
Pretty little El Sueco agate I cut this evening. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #agates
