Welcome!

Happy Spring/Summer everyone!  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!

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.

Alas, it is my duty to report that both Cerium Oxide and Tin Oxide rock polishes are now on the endangered species list, and the prices have jumped drammatically.  We apologize, but we're doing everything we can just to get them for you.  We are also testing some alternatives to these wonderful polishes and will let you know when we have found less expensive alternatives.

Our specialty is--and always has been--rock tumbling, but we can supply any type of lapidary equipment you need. If we don't carry it in stock, we'll 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!

The new book on rock tumbling, Modern Rock Tumbling, continues to be very popular & helpful, and is now available from many other lapidary dealers.
 
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 2 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!

Be sure and give us a call or E-Mail us if you need assistance with anything else about tumbling or lapidary.  We love talking rocks!
