Looking for rock polisher in SE MO or S IL.

I am looking for someone that can polish a rock I have. Just a local agate, but it has an interesting look to it. I have been looking for awhile with no luck, so if anyone can lead me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

Most colleges with a geology dept. have one. Be nice, say please and maybe they will help. Any Rock?mineral store generally has one and are pretty cool about helping. I had one at the high school I taught in and we never used it. Pretty sad...

Duh, college should have been my first thought! We have no rock shops around here. so sad

There are more groups out there than you think.
I have an aunt that lives in West Frankfort. I have hiked in Giant city SP and Cave in Rock both pretty nice areas to explore.

I've heard those 2 parks are well worth going to. I know there is a lot of museum worthy fluorite that has come from that area. Someday---

Depending on the size and shape of the stone/rock.. I could fit it into one of my tumblers and do this for you.. Post a pic or two?..
