Customer video review of Lortone QT66 Rock Tumbler
Chris C.
Great tumbler. You can practically fill one or both 6 pound barrels and it runs without breaking a sweat. No leaks. Great tumbling action with faceted rubber interior. Motor runs hot, about 125 degrees F. This is normal. It’s not quiet, sounds similar to dishwasher when left running in kitchen. I moved it to the garage. I was happy enough to order another one, virtually the same but with a single 12 pound barrel so I could tumble larger rocks. Lapidary Mart ships fast with excellent pac...

I purchased rock tumbler that came with 2 barrels and they had let me exchange the 2 barrels for a single 12 pound one, I’m very happy that they did that, it was my fault and they were very helpful, I’ll be purchasing more equipment in the future

Andrew S.
Quick and easy buying experience. Great communication alerting me that it shipped, arrived in my town, and delivered to my home. I won’t go anywhere else for any lapidary needs, this place already exceeded expectations. Way to kick off a long relationship for us!!

Robert C.
Just got this tumbler started for the first time and am very pleased with it. The unit is much quieter than I expected, having never tumbled rocks before, and I imagine that's due to the rubber barrel and Lortones quality. Highly recommend.

Miranda W.
This is my first rock tumbler. This tumbler has an even and consistent sound that naturally becomes background noise. It’s very easy to use and to clean. I love watching it spin. It’s easy to load and to clean.

I love the rock tumbler. I have wanted one for a long time. The picture shows some gems that went through stage 1 and are ready for stage 2. Thank you so much.

Customer photo review of Lightning Lap D'Lite Diamond Laps
William L.
I am still learning. I was using metal diamond laps up to 3000 grit then transitioning to lightning lap 8000 grit to start the polish. The problem that I was having was when transitioning the angle was always slightly off and I would have to play with the cheater adjustment to align with the facets. After purchasing a 1200 and 3000 grit lightning lap, I no longer have to adjust the cheater saving time.

Restored Lortone ST10 as a summer project, learning to use it I ruined the old blade that came with it. Overspeed & inexperience. This new blade is worth the cost, digging into the rock pile I inherited from my Dad. Today it made two see-through slabs of green moss agate.

I'm sold on Lightning Laps. This product line has made polishing so EASY!!! It's hard to believe how these laps work. I'm now moving to the cutting laps to see how they work as well. I had some of the cheaper cutting laps create fine scratches that remain after the polishing phase 😵‍💫 Yeah, I had my fill on those and spent over $100 on cheap toppers for cutting. We'll see how the Lightning Lap cutting laps work. I think they are worth the extra money to avoid throwing money away on the cheap one...

Christopher H.
Very fast service, and great product, Due to losing people over the years, who cut stones and glass for me - I have found that I have to add more tooling to my inventory - as I do Clock - watch and some jewelry repair / related - Stone - Marble - slate clocks - along with Native American Watch Tips / Watch Repair. I stumbled on this website and now will be doing more business with this company. I have done repairs over 40 + years - I like having people to do business with who I know I can count ...

Customer video review of Covington Engineering Old Miser
Chris C.
Old Miser is very helpful in creating a muddy slurry that makes less grit work harder. I use it for all coarse grit stages whether I’m tumbling metallic slag, agates or quartz.

Customer photo review of Covington C-Series Signature Saw Blades+4
Nicholas H.
The blade shipped super quick, arrived earlier than expected, and cuts like butter. I highly recommend this company and their customer service. I ordered the wrong sized arbor hole on the blade that was needed for the saw. I contacted Lapidary Mart to see what they could do to help, and they added a 3/4" bushing to the order, on the house. I have nothing bad to say about this company. The customer service and products speak for themselves. This is the best blade I have ever owned, and I highly r...

Customer photo review of Notched Rim Core Drill Bits
Rick K.
I used the 5mm core drill bit in my drill press with water to drill the 4 holes for mounting this Colorado Yule marble sculpture on its marble base. Drilled 6 holes all together, going slow with several plunges to reach a final depth of about an inch and cleaning out the core of the bit between holes. It exceeded expectations, especially for this price.

Patricia A.
I live on the North Fork of the John Day River and am very fortunate to find gems and “ colorful treasures”. These are a batch finished with the step 2 grit. The other barrel is in the middle of polishing River glass. This is my second 2 barrel Lortone; my other one was given to me 23 years ago—— and is still going strong!

Customer video review of Covington 8 Inch Perfect Diamond Lapidary Maxi Lap
Peggy J.
First let me say I couldn't be happier to own this. The 1st thing I found out was I needed a courser grit lap so ordered a 60 grit which helped cut the time in half. So, as of right now I have used the 60g, 100g, 270g. I'm very pleased with the results so far. I do wish that I could have shared more videos and some pictures but this only allows one video or pictures. So, I choose to share the video. I wish more people would review this Covington Maxi as I could not find even one review of ...

Charles K.
I have been tumbling for more than 5 years, and the Lortone tumblers are the best. They are quieter than any other tumblers I have tried ... it is amazing how much that really matters. The tumblers can be easily fixed when a belt breaks, and they are easy to maintain with gun oil or spray where the rods run into the housing. It is great that the Lortone tumblers and accessories are available again, and that Lapidary Mart provides them at the same cost as when they disappeared years ago.

Customer photo review of Crystalite Crystalcut™ Rust Inhibitor Coolant
Tony H.
The Vernon Lapidary and Mieral club in British Columbia have 3 water saws that are used extensively by club members and without this rust inhibitor, we would have to drain the saws daily. Sometimes the saw(s) may sit for days without use but with this Crytaline crystacut, we don't have to worry about rust. Received the order in a timely matter and would recommend Lapiday Mart who went above and beyond. Thank You Terry Shurts.

Customer video review of Covington 16 Inch Combination Trim & Slab Saw
John F.
Love the machine. Slabs my rocks to the right size and I no longer have wedge shaped slabs. Cuts slabs a little faster than I thought it would. Very Happy after only a few weeks of use. I have already slabbed up more than a dozen rocks.

Hattie W.
I love this trim saw. I used to use an old tile saw and get soaked with water every time I used it. Now I can sit and cut as many slabs as Id like and stay dry. The machine runs smooth and has a great motor. I will definitely be back!

A simple setup, perfect for my wife’s rock collection. Low wattage, so I don’t need to worry about the electric bill. Small and compact. Doesn’t take up space in the house. 10/10

Customer photo review of Hi-Tech Diamond Green Dop Wax - 1 Pound
Jennifer S.
I had green wax from somewhere else but It couldn't get a good hold of anything. Thought maybe I didn't have the tempature correct because I was using a can on the stove. So I bought a dop station-- turns out it must have been old, this dop wax I purchased from here is great! In the pic, my rocks are just hanging out until I can get out to my work shed.

Bought it on recommendation from a friend who cuts rocks. Been putting it through hell and it has been keeping up. Very pleased with the products I have purchased from this company. If a cheaper brand doesn't satisfy my expectations then Covington is always the solution.

This glass scorer, while not the fastest is certainly the most accurate for making exact cuts. Best feature: the cutting wheel is ALWAYS perpendicular to the glass.

The sawblades arrived on time and were reasonably priced. The blade runs smoothly and true and cuts material softer than agate very quickly with just water lubricant. Cutting agate takes longer, but the blade holds up well.
