How it started
About a year ago, my 5-year-old grandson started picking up every cool rock he could find. His excitement was contagious. Before long I was collecting right alongside him, then studying rocks, then cutting and polishing them.
Today that hobby has grown into Bald Man Rocks: lapidary work, agates, and even a little gold hunting, all from my shop in the Columbia Basin of Washington. Every piece is cut and polished by hand.
