Welcome!

Welcome to the Little Red Store website.  We hope your rock gathering, grinding and polishing is going well--it is a great time to fire up those tumblers and make pretty rocks!  We sincerely want to be your supplier for rock tumbling supplies, spare parts and new equipment.

If you are new to this website, we want to thank you for coming.  Consider working your way down the left column to get an idea of what we have stocked in our "rooms".  Don't forget to review the "Technical Tips" section as well as the "Package Deals", which are great for those new to rock tumbling or needing to go deeper on a certain subject.

Cerium Oxide and Tin Oxide rock polish prices have now stabilized and the supply chain is again full.  We hope that prices will soon begin to drop--the world largest Cerium Oxide mine is being re-opened as we speak in the Mojave Desert of California.  That should help our pricing a lot!

Our specialty is--and always has been--rock tumbling.  We're happy to give you our honest advice and counsel by phone too.  Just E-Mail us and we're happy to contact you.  We can also supply any type of lapidary equipment you need. If we don't carry it in stock, we can find it for you and have it drop-shipped right to your front door. That's our specialty, and we maintain dealer relationships with all the “big guys” in the lapidary market so you get the very best deals. Try us!

Steve's book on rock tumbling, Modern Rock Tumbling, continues to be very popular & helpful, and is now available from many other lapidary dealers in the universe.
 
And when you need a spare lid for your Thumler barrel because your old one developed a hole in the center, this is the only place in America which automatically glues a tire patch on the inside of your lid before we ship it--this will add greatly to the life of your new lid for just a nominal cost.  Your new Thumler rotary tumblers (the AR- series) and barrels will all have patched lids also.
 
And thanks for noticing that we ship all our tumbling powders in rugged plastic containers, so you never have to wonder if your powder is damp or contaminated.
 
Yes we ship Internationally. Once you give us your International order, we box it up and take it to the Post Office for a shipping quote. Then we E-Mail you the total cost of your order. You can pay by Paypal, credit card or with cash via Western Union. Then we ship your order the very next day. Best of all, we don't charge you any extra money for this service!

Our little web-based company started business in August of 2008 and is now over 3 1/2 years old! Our entire staff would like to thank you for making Little Red Store a success, despite the tough economic times we are all facing. You have been awesome!

Yes, we still check all your orders to find the cheapest way to ship them--we compare UPS Ground to US Post Office for the better deal.  If we find a less expensive way, we put a shipping refund check for the difference in with your Packing Slip--check your Packing Slips!

Thanks for letting us be your rock tumbling supplier.
