Hi,
i'm a mineral and rock collector from the UK. I sometimes collect large (say 20 to 40cm long/wide) pieces of attractive rock of various types, often quartz-based. Some of them would look really good cut and polished.
Before i collect too many i'd just like to know how difficult/expensive this would be.
I guess i can get them cut at a company that cuts stone for kitchen worktops or gravestones. But how long does it take/how expensive would it be to polish them/have them polished for me?
thanks for any advice
