If you see words that are underlined & all images, hover your mouse pointer over them and it may change to a clickable link and take you off to the site!
Please DO NOT COPY these hyperlinks as it's Plagiarism, instead just hyperlink to it!
I define "Lapidary" as (1) a person's job title, (2) The process of cutting and polishing stones, this can be done using (a) by hand using non-mechanical tools, (b) in a rotary or vibratory tumbler,
(c) on a cabochon grinding machine, (d) on a flat-lap, (e) on a diamond or mud saw, (f) on a faceting machine, (g) with a drill or Dremel TM, (h) on or in vibratory side-ways lap or (i) on or in your own home brew machine.
The list works in alphabetical order by Country, then Region or State, then by name or web-site.
If you wish to provide additional content such as (a) other vendors or manuacturers that you have verified that are in business or have ceased trading, (b) errors and (c) dead links, you can do so via Private Message
or by email "rthasi(at)gmx.co.uk". Note: Please exchange "(at)" for "@".
Vendors that appear on super resource links such as "The Vug" and others is unwelcome, unless it is the vendor themselves that contact's me.
What I am looking for.
Vendors must offer at least one of the following, lapidary machines, spares for lapidary machines, grit, polish or rough rock that is suitable for lapidary working for example: "rocks for slabbing, un-polished slabs for
cabochons or polishing whole, pre-formed un-polished cabochons, rough rocks suitable for tumbling, stones suitable for faceting and un-polished resin type rocks such as Amber and Opals".
What I am not looking for.
Heavy metal ores, radioactive rocks and ores, sandstones and rocks that absorb water when wet, rocks that have completed the lapidary process such as polished slabs, polished cabochons, polished facets,
polished tumbles and finished jewellery.
If a vendor is currently not on this list and vendor or a member of RTH wishes to nominate a vendor I require the following key information.
1: The country and state or region of the vendor.
If this is not given I cannot add you to my list.
2: The vendor's name and web-link or full contact details, if the vendors name is the web-link, "As web-link" will do.
3: The key information looking for is who, where, what, minimum order and payment.
Who: We sell to the public, trade only, in person or mail order.
Where: World wide if not on embargo lists, on-site, within local area or country.
Note: I define "Online" as "World wide", unless "Online (USA)", which I define as "Online USA only".
What: Our products and services.
Minimum order: If any, for example: "£100.00 excluding taxes and delivery or incur a 20% surcharge" or "$20.00 Excluding taxes and delivery or incur a $2.00 surcharge".
Payment: Types of payment accepted, for example: "U.K Cheques and Postal Order's, All major Credit/Debit cards, Amex not welcome" or "Personal/Business Checks and All major US and Canadian Credit cards,
Intercontinental Credit/Debit cards not accepted and all orders over $100.00 will require a bank wire transfer for which there is a $30.00 fee".
Note: Both "Minimum order" and "Payment" examples above were an UK Manuafacturer and an USA vendor that re-brands things that are blue!
4: All manufacturers and vendors can specify their own text up to 320 characters max.
