Sean in AZ Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I have some really nice pieces of onyx and travertine that I would like to get cut and polished. Is there anyone around Phoenix that provides such services? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondmn Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Contact your local gem and mineral club and you can probably find someone to do it for you. Are you looking for a flat lap piece or cabachon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean in AZ Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 I'm not really sure. I'd like at least one or two flat ones to display. I'll check out the mineral club. Thanks pal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haderly Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Sean – The only clubs in the phoenix area that still have shops are the ones in Sun City and the Apache Junction Rock club. I just started to get my equipment set up this weekend so I won’t be running for awhile. If you can’t wait I would suggest contacting the Apache Junction club. From what I have been told they have a nice shop so someone should be able to help you out. The Arizona onyx is pretty soft so you could even polish it by hand with sandpaper or grit on a piece of glass. If you need any help let me know.

Sean in AZ Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hi Haderly, I sure appreciate the info. I will contact both. I really don't know much about polishing so I probably better let the professionals handle that part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
