VINTAGE HIGHLAND PARK LAPIDARY PLUS
As time passed, this became an impetus for Highland Park Lapidary 30 plus years later. While both pieces of equipment worked, we almost give up lapidary because we could not achieve the results we had hoped for. The saw was a Highland Park 10-inch gravity feed saw and the grinder was a Rock Rascal. We got our first slab saw and grinder later that year. We remember the thrill of digging thunder eggs at Priday Ranch (now Richardson’s Ranch) and finding Lake Superior Agates in Muscatine Iowa. At that time you could find nice material along the roadside, as the freeway system was newer then. John was 10 and I was five and we stopped at nearly every road cut to collect stones and soil samples. It all started in 1970 when my brother John and I got bit by the rock bug and started collecting rocks on a family vacation around the United States and Canada. People ask us all the time how we ended up with Rare Earth Trading Co, Highland Park Lapidary and Spheres To You with customers and operations spanning multiple continents.
