Explore Michigan’s rocky beaches, then learn to polish your finds and make beautiful things from them.

Hi, I'm Rob. Most of my rock hunts are on remote and peaceful Great Lakes beaches. I’d love to have you tag along. We’ll tumble rocks, slab them, make jewelry, and do other creative projects together. You can expect more outdoor videos during the spring, summer, and fall and more indoor shop videos during the long Michigan winters.

I have been learning about rocks and how to polish them for over a dozen years. I’m a retired middle school math teacher, and now I’m doing my best to teach others what I know about working with rocks. I have several tutorials on how to use a rock tumbler as well as videos on other lapidary topics.

I am not a geologist, so I'll identify rocks I recognize and admit when I don't know what something is. There is a lot I don't know, so I hope to learn from my viewers too. I think we have a pretty good community growing here. I hope you’ll join us.
